Figures & data
FIG. 1 A schematic representation of particle detection and timing scheme used in SPLAT II.
FIG. 2 Traces of detected photons that are scattered by particles of different sizes. The green Gaussians indicate the green laser beam profiles and the blue triangles mark the points, at which threshold was reached and the particles were detected.
FIG. 3 Particle hit-rate as a function of the laser trigger delay coefficient C1.
FIG. 4 A plot of the optimal laser trigger delay coefficient C1 as a function of PTOF for particles composed of DOP and sodium nitrate.
FIG. 5 A plot of the vacuum aerodynamic size distributions of the detected (black) and hit (red) sodium nitrate particles that are coated with SOA, showing the achieved size independent hit-rate.
