Abstract
In this chapter data analysis and calibration procedure are described along with the theoretical description of the laser scattering processes in Sect. 3.1 and experimental setup from Chaps. 4 and 5. The signal processing involves two synchronized diagnostic systems, which are used in special settings and analyzed by newly developed algorithms. Photon counting with extremely short gating times on a 1 Megapixel CCD has recently been demonstrated [1] and allows TS spectra to be time-resolved in software posteriori. The signal processing, calibration and operation of the TS system is described first and in more detail.
