Optical particle spectrometers (OPSs) are a class of instruments (commonly used for measurement of particle size distributions) that require calibration. Conventionally, this is performed using a known aerosol source, which has reliability issues. In this paper, we present a technique for OPS calibration which involves placing objects in the instrument that generate a known response. This fibre calibration method was more reliable than a conventional calibration.
