Up till now the basic physics of nanodusty plasmas is only little examined. Such plasmas have a very high dust density and therefore a high degree of electron depletion, i.e. the Havnes parameter is high compared to unity. The density and size of the nanoparticles are the key parameters for the understanding of the nanodusty plasma. In the interesting regime of high particle size and/or density, the nanodusty plasma becomes optical thick and standard Mie ellipsometry, which relies on single scattering, fails. Recently we have presented a method to include multiple scattering into Mie ellipsometry. We used 3D Monte-Carlo polarized radiative transfer simulations which allow us to calculate the characteristics of light scattered by the nanoparticle cloud with arbitrary optical depth [1]. Including the spatio-temporal development of the experimental density profile into the simulation enables us to estimate the particle radius for high optical depths.
