Abstract
We present a new simulation framework for the detection of aerosol fluorescence with integration spheres. Utilizing a Monte Carlo based ray-tracing approach, aerosol fluorescence within integrating sphere setups is simulated from photon generation through laser excitation over interactions with the setup components to losses and finally detection. Through modular design, the position and number of openings, sensors, etc. can be freely configured. Therefore, potential experimental setups can be evaluated with regard to overall performance, bottlenecks can be identified and the impact of different component parameters determined.
