Abstract
Performing standoff detection tests of aerosol clouds is complicated by the level of effort to set up for such experiments and uncontrolled ambient airflows. A more controlled approach is desirable for early stage experiments and for infield validation tests or calibration purposes. Here we describe the development of a static panel coated with the particle constituents of an aerosol cloud collapsed into a two-dimensional rendering. Providing the support panel is sufficiently optically benign at relevant wavelengths for the target aerosol particles and the particles are separated by sufficient distances to interact with infrared light independently from one another suitable test panels maybe be fabricated. Here we elaborate on our two-dimensional static aerosol panel concept and discuss the choice of infrared benign support, how to deposit aerosol particles over a relatively large footprint up to one-meter square and the optical characterization of test panels produced.
