The use of optical techniques for the measurement and characterization of physical phenomena is of great interest in the scientific and industrial communities. This work shows the implementation of an integrated system for measuring Multi-angle Laser Light Scattering on a Field Programmable Gate Array. The embedded design delivers a compact and highly competitive system. The system is able to display, in real-time, the light intensity from a photodetector array showing in this way the corresponding pattern distribution of the scattered light at 16 sensing points. Some laser light scattering patterns from metallic samples with different roughness are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
