Application of linear polarized light for the discrimination of frozen and liquid droplets in ice nucleation experiments

We report on the development and test results of the new optical particle counter TOPS-Ice (Thermo-stabilized Optical Particle Spectrometer for the detection of Ice). The instrument uses measurements of the cross-polarized scattered light by single particles into the near-forward direction (42.5° ±...
