17. Note that the minimum (maximum) position of the curve for A16 (B11) is at θ′=80°, and slightly different from θ′ = 90°, indicating that peaks An, may be extincted more perfectly at θ′ = 80°.
18. Some larger and brighter light spots with complicated shape were also observed. We think that those lights were due to scatterers whose sizes were comparable to or larger than the wavelength of the probe beam inside the fiber.
