COMPUTER-SYNTHESIZED OPTICAL ELEMENTS IN DIAGNOSIS OF AEROSOL SYSTEMS

N. I. Petrov, I. N. Sisakyan, V. S. Sisoyev

Abstract:
The problem of scattering of light by aerosol particles is investigated. The scattered field is represented as an expansion in two types of Bessel function corresponding to two different operations over the light fields. The coefficients of the expansion in these functions are shown to be directly related to the parameters characterizing the aerosol medium. A possibility is demonstrated for the practical evaluation of the aerosol characteristics with the aid of computer-synthesized optical elements. The scattered radiation pattern can be recovered from the particle parameter measurements.
