AB - The problem of retrieval for spherical particle size distribution in the  independent mode is studied, and an improved Tikhonov iteration method is  proposed. In this method, the particle size distribution is retrieved from  the light extinction data through the Phillips-Twomey method firstly in the  independent mode, and then the obtained inversion results of the particle  size distribution is used as the initial distribution and the final retrieved  particle size distribution is obtained. Simulation experiments indicate that  the spherical particle size distributions obtained with the proposed method  coincide fairly well with the given distributions.
