Signatures from In-situ Light Scattering of Non-Homogeneous Non-Spherical Particles.

Abstract

The research preformed under this program has focused on studying the angular light scattering of monodisperse quasi spherical non homogeneous particles. For that purpose specific laboratory techniques are developed suitable for the generation of these particles and for properly collecting the data. For comparing the measurements with the light scattering theories for spheres and spheroids we have formulated a new kind of algorithm that is innovative in many aspects and has useful application. The method might be advantageous for inversions of physical parameters from experimental data, and for estimating their statistical significance. Keywords: Light scattering; aerosol particles; laser measurements; numerical inversions.
