Abstract

Laser based experimental light scattering studies of irregularly shaped silica microparticles have been performed at three incident wavelengths 543.5 nm, 594.5 nm and 632.8 nm supported by laboratory based computations and 3D realistic simulations, using an indigenously fabricated light scattering setup. A comparative analysis of the computational and experimentally acquired results is done and a good agreement is found in the forward scattering lobes in all cases for each of the measured scattering parameters. This study also provides an efficient way of detecting and measuring particle size distribution for irregular micro- and nanoparticles and is highly applicable in remote sensing, atmospheric, astrophysical, and medical applications and also for finding potential health hazards in the form of inhalable and respirable small particulate matter.
