Popis: Optical property measurements have been made for unicellular algal suspensions of C. pyrenoidosa in the spectral range from 380 to 720 nm. The measurements include the extinction and absorption cross sections and the scattering phase function. Although the spectral dependence of the extinction cross section is weak, there is a strong wavelength dependence for absorption which is related to cell pigment content. The absorption cross section increases with increasing cell size and pigment content. The scattering albedo is approximately 0.9 over the entire spectrum, and the scattering phase function is strongly peaked in the forward direction.
