Response characteristics of the phase Doppler particle analyzer for sizing spherical particles larger than the light
Abstract:
A theoretical model, based on the geometrical optics approach, has been developed to simulate various aspects of the phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA). The model has taken into consideration the nonuniform (Gaussian) illumination of the particles as they pass through the measurement probe volume. Instrument response curves have been generated for various scattering angles by performing spatial and temporal integration of the scattered intensity distribution over the receiver surface. Experimental and theoretical investigations have established the applicability of this instrument to both forward scattered and backscattered angles.
