Technical Field

Background
The laser particle size analyzer is an instrument for testing the particle size distribution and the particle size according to a scattering spectrum obtained by diffraction or scattering of laser light by particles. The specific working principle is as follows: because the laser has good monochromaticity and strong directivity, a beam of parallel laser can irradiate an infinite place in an unobstructed infinite space and has little divergence in the process of propagation; when the light beam is blocked by the particles, a part of the light is scattered, and the propagation direction of the scattered light forms an included angle theta with the propagation direction of the main light beam. Both scattering theory and experimental results tell us that the magnitude of the scattering angle theta is related to the size of the particles, and the larger the particles are, the smaller the theta angle of the generated scattered light is; the smaller the particle, the larger the angle theta of the scattered light produced. At the same time, the intensity of scattered light represents the number of particles of that size. The particle size distribution of the sample can be obtained by measuring the intensity of the scattered light at different angles.
