Measurements have been made of Rayleigh scattering in CCl(4) and C(2)Cl(4) as a function of wavelength between 6000 A and 10,600 A. The scattering loss rate is 25 dB/km for CCl(4) and 68 dB/km for C(2)C(4) at 6328 A. The scattering loss rate follows a (wavelength)(-4) dependence over the entire spectrum observed. The Rayleigh scattering was measured by placing the liquid sample in a hollow fused-quartz fiber and measuring the light scattered by the liquid through the fiber wall. It appears that this is the first time that the expected (wavelength)(-4) dependence of Rayleigh scattering has actually been observed in liquids over a wide spectral range. This technique is simple and accurate and may be applied to the measurement of the scattering coefficient of any liquid whose index of refraction exceeds the cladding index of refraction (for fused quartz n(D) = 1.458).
已对四氯化碳（CCl₄）和四氯乙烯（C₂Cl₄）中的瑞利散射进行了测量，测量范围为波长在6000埃至10600埃之间。在6328埃处，四氯化碳的散射损耗率为25分贝/千米，四氯乙烯的散射损耗率为68分贝/千米。在所观察的整个光谱范围内，散射损耗率遵循（波长）⁻⁴的依赖关系。瑞利散射是通过将液体样品置于空心熔凝石英光纤中，并测量透过光纤壁由液体散射的光来进行测量的。看来这是首次在较宽光谱范围内，在液体中实际观察到瑞利散射预期的（波长）⁻⁴依赖关系。该技术简单且准确，可应用于测量任何折射率超过包层折射率（对于熔凝石英，n(D)=1.458）的液体的散射系数。
