    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Particle Characterization
    • Computational Science

    Background:

    • Accurate particle size distribution (PSD) retrieval is crucial in various scientific and industrial applications.
    • Fraunhofer diffraction is a common method for measuring PSD, but inversion algorithms can be sensitive to noise and distribution complexity.
    • Existing methods like Tikhonov regularization and L1-norm-based algorithms have limitations in accuracy and speed, particularly with noisy data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and validate a robust modified Landweber algorithm for retrieving particle size distributions from Fraunhofer diffraction measurements.
    • To compare the performance of the proposed algorithm against Tikhonov regularization and L1-norm-based algorithms.
    • To demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness using various particle size distributions and simulated/experimental data.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a modified Landweber iterative algorithm for solving the inverse problem of PSD retrieval.
    • Simulation of Fraunhofer diffraction data for Rosin-Rammler, lognormal, and bimodal normal distributions (4.8–96 μm).
    • Comparative analysis with Tikhonov regularization and L1-norm-based algorithms using noise-free and noise-contaminated datasets.
    • Experimental validation using a custom-built setup.

    Main Results:

    • For noise-free data, the modified Landweber and L1-norm algorithms showed higher accuracy than Tikhonov regularization.
    • With noise-contaminated data, the modified Landweber algorithm demonstrated superior accuracy and computational speed compared to the other two methods.
    • Experimental results confirmed the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed modified Landweber algorithm.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Landweber algorithm provides a robust and efficient solution for retrieving particle size distributions from Fraunhofer diffraction.
    • This method offers significant advantages in accuracy and speed, particularly in the presence of data noise.
    • The algorithm's performance is validated through simulations and experimental measurements, highlighting its practical applicability.
