I'm recently studying on DLS , I'm really interested in learning about fundamental difference between Polarized and Depolarized dynamic light scattering. I will be happy to use your information.
It's very simple. Use of a polarized laser in conjunction with the appropriate detector improves the signal-to-noise of the system by not 'seeing' extraneous noise.
DDLS can help discern both translational and rotational diffusion of rod-like particles. See for example:
Lehner, D.; Lindner, H.; Glatter, O. Determination of the Translational and Rotational Diffusion Coefficients of Rodlike Particles Using Depolarized Dynamic Light Scattering. Langmuir 2000, 16 (4), 1689–1695. https://doi.org/10.1021/la9910273.
The overall amount of light scattered and the ratio of depolarized to polarized intensity can depend on the solvent. However for typical dynamic light scattering that should not be relevant, since the signal from the particles should be much stronger than from the solvent alone.
