Previous | Next

Description

This module uses the N-Particles Centered T-Matrix formalism to solve the vector multiple scattering equation of light on a fixed number of axis-symmetric particles.

​

It offers the following calculations´capabilities:

​

  • Far-Field Orientation and Polarization average optical properties calculations.

  

  • Far-Field optical properties calculation on fixed orientation.

   

  • Near-Field Orientation and Polarization average optical properties calculations.

​

  • Near-Field optical properties calculation on fixed orientation.

 

In addition to the Standard calculation module, we have developed two others, to facilitate the realization of many typical studies:

 

  • The Meso volume element builder:

Automatically generates the random positions of spheres as function of particles´ volume filling, size distribution and total number. 

 

  • The Cluster builder:

Automatically generates clusters of sphere as functions of the primary particles total number and sizes and the cluster´s compactness.
