Working principle and selection of laser particle size analyzer

Laser particle size analyzer refers to an instrument that analyzes particle size by analyzing the spatial distribution (scattering spectrum) of diffraction or scattered light of particles. According to the stability of the energy spectrum, it can be divided into static light scattering particle size analyzer and dynamic light scattering laser particle size analyzer. Why does laser use laser as the light source? Laser is a light source with good collimation and monochromaticity. Due to its monochromaticity, when particles enter the laser beam, clear light scattering spectra can be obtained, which are related to particle size.
What are the advantages of semiconductor lasers?
Laser is one of the important inventions of the 20th century, and semiconductor lasers are the product of advances in laser technology in the past two decades. Its advantages include small size, light weight, high efficiency, low voltage, long lifespan, and strong earthquake resistance. The laser emitted by early semiconductor lasers had poor monochromaticity and could not be used as a light source for detection instruments. With the advancement of technology, the monochromaticity of the laser emitted by high-quality semiconductor lasers has approached or reached the level of helium neon lasers, and has replaced helium neon lasers in many application fields. Due to the numerous advantages of semiconductor lasers, most foreign brands of laser particle size analyzers now use semiconductor lasers as light sources.

Static light scattering laser particle size analyzer
The energy spectrum is a stable spatial distribution. Mainly suitable for testing micron sized particles, with improvements, the measurement limit can also be extended to tens of nanometers.

Laser particle size analyzer based on dynamic light scattering principle
Based on the speed of particle Brownian motion, the size of nanoparticles can be analyzed by detecting the dynamic light scattering signals at one or two scattering angles, and the energy spectrum changes rapidly over time. The particle size analyzer based on dynamic light scattering principle is only suitable for testing nanoscale particles

Sedimentation particle size analyzer
The sedimentation particle size analyzer is based on the principle of Stokes sedimentation law
The principle of laser particle size analyzer measurement is that a beam of laser emitted by the laser is filtered, expanded, and calibrated to become a parallel beam of light. In the absence of the parallel beam shining on the particles, the beam passes through the Fourier lens and converges on the focal plane to form a very small and bright spot - the focal point. As shown in the following figure:
Principle diagram of laser particle size analyzer measurement [4] When particles are uniformly placed into a parallel beam in a specific way, the laser will undergo scattering phenomenon, and a part of the light will diffuse outward at a certain angle to the optical axis. Both theory and practice have proven that the scattering angle of scattered light caused by large particles is small, and the smaller the particle, the larger the scattering angle of scattered light. These scattered lights from different angles will form a series of halos on the focal plane after passing through the Fourier lens, and the alternating light and dark spots composed of these halos are called Airy spots. Airy contains rich granularity information, which can be simply understood as halos with larger radii corresponding to smaller particle sizes, and halos with smaller radii corresponding to larger particle sizes; The light energy size of halos at different radii contains information about the content of particles of that size. In this way, we install a series of light receivers on the focal plane, convert the light signals scattered by particles of different sizes into electrical signals, and transmit them to the computer. Then, we use Mie scattering theory to mathematically process these signals through the computer to obtain the particle size distribution.
