Oxygen Flame

The spectral variation of the optical properties of soot particles is determined by combining classical and dynamic light scattering measurements with the Kramers-Krönig relations. Particle size and number densities are determined from scattering/extinction and autocorrelation measurements at the wavelength of 0.488 μm. This information is then combined with the spectral extinction measurements in the wavelength range 0.2 to 6.4 μm to determine the spectral variation of the refractive indices of flame soot. Results are presented for a premixed propane-oxygen flame with a fuel equivalence ratio ϕ = 1.8. The sensitivity of the technique and its advantage over the previous methods are discussed.

In this manuscript we propose two methods to solve inverse light scattering problem for single particles, which can be described as a coated sphere. The efficiency of the methods is illustrated by characterization of lymphocytes and stem cells using light scattering patterns obtained with scanning flow cytometer. Both methods, spectral and global optimization, were used to obtain diameters and refractive indices of the cytoplasm and the nucleus of mice embryo stem cells and human lymphocytes. These results agree with data obtained from other studies. Determination of these parameters is important for diagnostics of pathological states of lymphocytes and differentiation status of embryo stem cells. Moreover, methods described in this manuscript are applicable to all mononuclear cells. We also considered limitations of these methods and their possible improvements.

AbstractThis is a description of the beginning of a systematic investigation into the optical properties of dust structures that are likely to be representative of interplanetary dust. I delineate the development of a physical dust model to parameterize the optically important characteristics of the dust. The result is a system with two refractive indexes in an aggregate structure of varying porosity - a challenging model for most current light scattering theories. Experimental data is needed to investigate the scattering by these structures and to test new theoretical solutions (e.g., Xu 1995) as they develop. I give a brief description of the new microwave analog scattering laboratory that has been developed for this purpose at the Laboratory for Astrophysics of the University of Florida's Astronomy Department. Finally, laboratory data is shown in support of dense aggregate models for interplanetary dust.
