Determination of Optical Constants for Powdered Materials in the 10 Micron Infrared Region

Abstract

In order to successfully tailor the aerosol to the specific need we should be able to engineer the optical properties of the particulates, that is to calculate the performance of various systems and to produce the one that most closely fits the desired characteristics. In order to accomplish this optical engineering of aerosols the following two things are necessary: (1) A catalogue of the wavelength-dependent optical constants for various solids and liquids. (2) Adequate theoretical representation of how extinction is related to such factors as particle size, shape, and coating.
