5 Experiments Figure 5.16: Correction of the scattering angle. Left: Multiply scattered light from the medium with effective refractive index n eff enters the container wall (refractive index n glass ) with scattering angle θ ms . At the container–air interface this light is refracted. The scattering angle measured at the CCD camera is therefore θ CCD . Right: Singly scattered light from a particle with refractive index n particle in water is refracted at both surfaces of the container walls. The reason for this at first surprising observation is that the polarizer removes only the central maximum of the backscattered intensity distribution around θ = 0, which for the large particles in the fluidized bed is only about 0.2 ◦ wide. The singly scattered light is refracted at both surfaces of the acrylic glass wall of the container (fig. 5.16). The scattering angle at the CCD camera and the original scattering angle θ ss at the particle are therefore related like ( ) nair θ ss = arcsin · sin θ CCD ≈ n water n air n water · θ CCD (5.9) This means that the signal at the CCD camera contains two superimposed contributions, which require different corrections to obtain the real scattering angles! The contribution of single scattering As explained before, the circular polarizer in the setup removes the central maximum of single scattering, but leaves the rest of its intensity pattern more or less unaltered. If the refractive indices of particles and water and the size distribution of the particles are known exactly, the intensity distribution of single scattering can be calculated using Mie theory (fig. 5.15), and can then be subtracted from the data. The background illumination of the backscattering image however is rather non-uniform and can therefore not be removed completely. This makes it an extremely delicate task to choose the correct parameters for the Mie distribution to subtract (fig. 5.17). We adapt the Mie distribution to the first order maximum and minimum of the azimuthally averaged data, where the variance of the data is still comparatively low. 64

Due to non-uniform background lighting the data vary strongly for angles larger than 0.3 ◦ and can not be fitted properly. To get a reliable scaling, the Mie distributions were scaled to fit the first order minimum and maximum of the azimuthally averaged data, whose heights are marked in the graph. The first maximum of the calculated Mie distributions is shifted towards smaller scattering angles, which shows that the particle size distribution used for the calculations is slightly wrong. 65

n glass ) with scattering angle θ ms . At the container–air interface this light is refracted. The<br />
scattering angle measured at the CCD camera is therefore θ CCD . Right: Singly scattered<br />
light <strong>from</strong> a particle with refractive index n particle in water is refracted at both surfaces<br />

The contribution of single scattering<br />
As explained before, the circular polarizer in the setup removes the central maximum of single<br />
scattering, but leaves the rest of its intensity pattern more or less unaltered. If the refractive<br />
indices of particles and water and the size distribution of the particles are known exactly, the<br />
intensity distribution of single scattering can be calculated using Mie theory (fig. 5.15), and<br />
can then be subtracted <strong>from</strong> the data.<br />
The background illumination of the backscattering image however is rather non-uniform and<br />
can therefore not be removed completely. This makes it an extremely delicate task to choose<br />
the correct parameters for the Mie distribution to subtract (fig. 5.17). We adapt the Mie distribution<br />
to the first order maximum and minimum of the azimuthally averaged data, where<br />
the variance of the data is still comparatively low.<br />
