Chaotic Light Scattering in Scatterers with 4 and 8 Exit Modes

David J. Miller

A replication of a simple experimental setup originally done by the University of Maryland Chaos Group uses large reflective spheres to demonstrate chaotic light scattering. The optical limitations of the experimental setup are overcome come with a computer simulation of the same experiment. A new arrangement of spheres is created and observed to share several properties with the original. Among these, the Wada Property was observed to occur in both chaotic scatterers.
