The translational diffusion coefficient measured by PCS and the rotational diffusion coefficient measured by depolarized FPI may be combined to obtain the dimensions of non-spherical particles. Dynamic Light Scattering is a technique that can be used to measure physical characteristics about particles in solution below the micron size range. This broadening is proportional to the particle rotational diffusion coefficient, which is in turn related to the particle dimensions. In FPI the frequency broadening of laser light scattered by the particles is analyzed. Depolarized Fabry-Perot interferometry (FPI) is a less common dynamic light scattering technique that is applicable to optically anisotropic nanoparticles. PCS is one of the most commonly used methods for measuring radii of submicron size particles in liquid dispersions. For a spherical particle, the hydrodynamic radius is essentially the same as the geometric particle radius (including any possible solvation layers). For dilute dispersions of spherical nanoparticles, the decay rate of the time autocorrelation function of these intensity fluctuations is used to directly measure the particle translational diffusion coefficient, which is in turn related to the particle hydrodynamic radius. In photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), the time fluctuations in the intensity of light scattered by the particle dispersion are monitored.
