A Method for Laser Measurement of Disperse Composition and Concentration of Aerosol Particles

Abstract

A modified method of small-angle scattering that consists in solving a series of direct problems in aerosol optics is proposed to obtain a function of particle size distibution; a modified method of spectral transperancy is employed to determine the concentration of particles in a cloud. A measurement system comprising radiator (helium-neon laser), photodetector and recording instruments has been developed. Measurements in aerosol clouds are performed.
