Abstract

We comment on several aspects of the light scattering technology that have been developed in our laboratory. In particular we show that Shih’s [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 55, XXX (1984)] data is consistent once beam propagation is taken into account fully and a small error in the grating constants corrected. The result is that we can make a stronger statement concerning the correspondence between theory and experiment for both the center frequency and width of the spectrum of capillary wave fluctuations at the liquid/vapor interface. We discuss questions of optimal design of the optical system and detection system for these measurements. We collect a set of dimensionless groups that are useful for the design of experiments.
