Abstract
Optical measurements in the laboratory are an important source of information on light scattering by particulate surfaces. One example of such surfaces is planetary regolith. Laboratory photometric and polarimetric measurements allow direct verifications of theoretical models of scattering (e.g., Shkuratov et al., 2007a; Zhang and Voss, 2005); they potentially may suggest new regularities that can improve theoretical interpretation. Moreover the measurements can suggest new effects, which require innovative theoretical approaches. For example, photometric and polarimetric opposition phenomena, well-known to astronomers and experimenters (e.g., Lyot, 1929; Oetking, 1966), were long without a satisfactory explanation. The effect of coherent backscattering enhancement explanation of these phenomena in astronomy was suggested in Shkuratov (1985,1988) and (1989) almost 60 years after their discovery.
