Abstract
A true indication of a fluid's absorption coefficient takes into effect the contributing factors of absorption and particle multiple scattering. A pulsed optical source transmits radiation through a relatively large volume of a certain particulate fluid medium. A detector or irradiance meter is gated so as to provide waveforms on a monitor which are characteristic of the absorption and multiple scattering of the medium. Using the transmittance and multiple line spread of the received signal a nearly real-time in situ analysis can be performed to provide scientists, communications specialists, etc. with the capability to anticipate operational parameters.
