Incipient attempts to apply a single-scattering polarized radiative transfer code along with planetary atmospheres spectrum synthesis procedures to photometric analyses of coma dust optical properties in Comet Hale-Bopp have lead to results which are consistent with other independent derivations of dust physical properties like particle composition, size, number densities, and ejection speeds. In the present optical modeling, preperihelion absolute filter photometry of Hale-Bopp's inner coma is compared with synthesized spectra of candidate haze particles. The calculations have demonstrated that the reflectances of crystalline olivine aerosols with effective radii of about 0.15 μm are compatible with the comet's λ ~ 0.4-0.7 μm spectrum. A good fit to Hale-Bopp's continuum spectrum is achieved with a high preponderance of these bright, submicrometer-sized particles.
