For the ill-posed inverse problem of LII-based nanoparticle size measurement, recovered primary particle size distribution (PPSD) is sensitive to the uncertainty of LII model parameters. In the absence of reliable prior knowledge, the thermal accommodation coefficient (TAC) and fractal-dependent shielding factor are often required to be inferred simultaneously with the PPSD. In the simplified LII model for low fluence regime, TAC and fractal-dependent shielding factor are combined to define a new fractal-dependent TAC. The present study theoretically verified the feasibility of inferring PPSD and fractal-dependent TAC from the normalized LII signals. Moreover, the inversion is independent of prior knowledge of most full LII model parameters, which is attributed to low laser fluence, normalized signal, and fractal-dependent TAC.
