Disordered porous polymer structures have gained tremendous attention due to their wide applications in various fields. As a simple yet versatile technique, supercritical CO2 microcellular foaming has been proposed to fabricate highly scattering porous polymer films, which have been used to enhance the efficiency of quantum dots (QDs) films. In the foaming process, numerous enclosed pores are generated, which induce significant scattering, underpinning the efficiency enhancement in optoelectronic devices. However, the scattering property of foamed porous structures has still not been well investigated, and effective guidelines for engineering the porous structures are still not available. In this work, we use Mie scattering theory and ray-tracing simulation to analyze the optical property of a single pore, pore assembly, and porous film. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the scattering scheme in the porous QD films leads to a large enhancement of excitation light absorption and QD emission extraction. It is envisioned that our work will contribute to the engineering guidelines of porous structures and boost the application of porous structures in similar fields.
