Abstract
The report summarizes recent developments in laser-illuminated instrumentation for measuring particulate density distributions in an operating coal-fired steam boiler. The work is a continuation of a previous effort which was concerned with applying single beam (Gabor) pulsed ruby laser holography to the recording of particulates over extreme distances. The present work attempts to determine if limestone dust in the presence of flyash background could be recorded holographically via back or side scattering of a ruby laser beam. To investigate the feasibility of making holograms of side or back scattering of a ruby laser beam, a mathematical model was first derived. This model related 4 factors which gives the transmittance along the scattering path from the laser to a detector and allows analysis of experimental measurements.
