Identification of Size and Concentration of Submicron Particles on the Basis of Rayleigh Scattering Model

Abstract

A method of identification of maximum size and concentration of submicron aerosol particles based on measurement of intensity attenuation of a parallel beam of probe optical radiation is described. Offered method makes it possible to determine both particle concentration and maximum particle size with controlled accuracy for aerosol media without any initial information about particle size distribution.
