Extinction by Dielectric Particles at Optical and Infrared Wavelengths.

Abstract

The light scattering properties of nonspherical particles have been investigated. A volume integral equation technique suitable for cubical or high axial ratio particles has been developed and tested. A hybrid differential-integral technique suitable for inhomogeneous particles has also been developed and tested. The elements of the Mueller matrix have been calculated for spheroids and super spheroids. A framework for parameterizing both particle shape and scattering output has been proposed as a mechanism for relating these two quantities. Graphical techniques permit rapid analysis of angular scattering results.
