Refractive indices of soot particles deduced from in-situ laser light scattering measurements

Journal Article · · Combust. Flame; (United States)
Classical and dynamic laser light scattering data are obtained for a fuel-rich premixed methane/oxygen flat flame. Particle size distribution is determined directly from the dynamic light scattering measurements. Particle number density and complex refractive index are then inferred from classical scattering and extinction data by introducing a relation between the real and imaginary parts of the complex electrical permittivity.
