Abstract

One or more embodiments of a standoff chamber system configured to generate aerosolized clouds, useful in testing or calibrating standoff detectors in a laboratory environment, includes a chamber body having vertically recirculating vortices for generation of the clouds. The standoff chamber further includes a pair of aero-windows configured to surround a pair of apertures in the chamber body, filtering and preventing escape of the cloud, while allowing direct observation of the cloud by standoff detectors.
