ABSTRACT
We propose a compact setup to determine the size and concentration of spherical particles in a turbid medium. A pair of plane mirrors is used to multifold the undeviated laser beam, and measure it at a detector placed close to the sample, to determine the interaction coefficient. The size of particles is uniquely determined by comparison of the scattered light from the medium, measured at two separate detectors placed at two different angular positions, with that from Monte Carlo simulations. The methodology is verified using measurements with turbid samples comprising polystyrene spheres.
ABSTRACT
We present a method to determine the anisotropy parameter g of a scattering liquid medium. A simple experimental setup is used to measure the scattered light from turbid samples, and a calibration curve is used to determine g. The interaction coefficient of the medium is experimentally determined, and the calibration curve is obtained through Monte Carlo simulations. The method is tested for nonabsorbing solutions of polystyrene spheres, and the simulation results are found to agree with the experiments.
