An Experimental Study of Infra-Red Scattering by Clouds of Particles

Abstract

This report describes a study of the extinction and scattering of infra-red radiation from an aerosol of fine particles. A description is given of the method developed for generation of a uniform optically thin cloud of particles. Reynolds aluminum 40XD powder was used for this test. The optical equipment including glo-bar source, focusing optics, traversing mechanism and Perkin Elmer model 98 monochromator is described. The extinction coefficient and normalized scattering function is reported for 21 wave lengths of incident radiation. (Author)
