Abstract

The data-inversion problem in photon correlation spectroscopy, in particular the calculation of the particle-size distribution for a dilute solution of polydisperse scatterers, is well-known to be difficult due to its ill-conditioned nature. This is compounded by the fact that the second-order correlation function (of intensity fluctuations) is measured while the inversion needs to be carried out on the first-order correlations (of scattered field amplitude). Stimulated by some recent work of Ross, Dhadwal and Suh, in which they inverted directly the measured data, we have taken their idea further and present some new reduction procedures which bear further investigation.
