Abstract

This paper describes an experimental analysis of the scattering of light through a cloud water. For this goal, an experimental setup to emulate a cloud of water is assembled. This arrangement is composed of an optical source emitting at the wavelength of 532 nm that is driven by a switching interface, a turbid medium, a photodiode, and an optical power meter. The optical source is modulated at the frequency of 1 Hz under Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) format. The modulated beam light travels the turbid medium, recovered by the photodiode that is connected to the power meter. The measured power data are analyzed using a novel Monte Carlo-Mie model to obtain the weighted extinction coefficient ratio probability. Subsequently, by the investment model some physical properties of the turbid medium as the refractive index and water droplet average sizes are obtained.
