Abstract: The dependences of the transmission coefficients and the sum of the transmission and absorption coefficients for light with a wavelength of 643 nm in compressed pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) samples containing aluminum nanoinclusions (average radius of 50 nm) on the pellet thickness and the mass fraction of aluminum nanoparticles in it are studied with an integrating sphere. The light absorption and scattering in this system is simulated using the Mie theory and a radiative transfer equation. The depth profile of absorbed energy in a sample is shown to approximately obey the Bouguer-Beer law. The effective cross section of radiation absorption by aluminum nanoparticles, which takes into account both light absorption and scattering by an ensemble of nanoparticles, exceeds the geometrical cross section.
