Photoacoustic determination of optical absorption to extinction ratio in aerosols

Abstract

The photoacoustic technique has been used in conjunction with an optical transmission measurement to determine the fraction of light absorbed in cigarette and acetylene smoke aerosols. At 0.5145-μm wavelength, the absorption-to-extinction fraction is 0.01 ± 0.003 for cigarette smoke and is in excellent agreement with predictions from Mie theory for smoke particles having a refractive index of 1.45–0.00133i and a median diameter in the 0.15–0.65-μm range. For acetylene smoke the absorbed fraction was 0.85 ± 0.05.
