Soot particle emission from combustion processes is a significant environmental and health
problem. Optical detection is clearly the only viable choice for in situ PAH and soot …

Abstract Knowledge of the optical properties of soot black carbon (BC) is required for the
prediction of the radiative effects of freshly-emitted and aged BC particles. Here we review …

The optical properties of atmospheric black carbon (BC) aerosols are needed to model the
direct radiative forcing of the climate system, as well as for interpreting and assimilating …

To improve the optical diagnostics of soot particles and gain an increased comprehension of
the soot formation and aging mechanisms requires a better understanding of the soot …

The refractive index of soot is an essential parameter for its optical diagnostics. It is
necessary for quantitative interpretation of LII (Laser Induced Incandescence) signals, light …

There is a strong interest in accurately modelling the radiative properties of soot aggregates
(also known as black carbon particles) emitted from combustion systems and fires to gain …

This paper addresses how well and under what conditions the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG)
approximation describes scattering and absorption of light by fractal aggregates (FA) …

The optical properties of combustion-generated soot, crucial information for quantitative soot
emission diagnostics and for climate modeling, have been determined for the particular case …

The in situ optical characterization of smokes composed of soot particles relies on light
extinction, angular static light scattering (SLS), or laser induced incandescence (LII). These …

Radiative properties of numerically generated fractal soot aggregates of different fractal
dimensions were studied using the numerically accurate generalized Mie-solution method …
