Optical Properties of Blow-Off Particulates.

Abstract

Results of the second phase of baseline studies on the electromagnetic scattering properties of dust particles generated in simulated nuclear explosions are presented. Using techniques and equipment developed by the principal investigator, complex refractive indices, particle sizes, and albedos of thermal dust particulates were measured as a function of wavelength of the laser light source. The particulates were obtained from solar furnace experiments performed under a separate contract. Keywords: Light scattering, Aerosols, Complex refractive index, Optical properties, Albedo, Dust, Thermal dust, Blow-off particulates.
