Abstract

Feasibility of using coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering for nanoparticle and large molecule diagnostics is assessed analytically and numerically through the solution of the Boltzmann equation. It has been shown that for particles of about 1 nm in diameter dispersed in a buffer gas, concentrations as small as 0.005 may be detected. The approach is expected to provide information on particle concentration with high spatial and temporal resolution.
