Benchmarks in light scattering


This page will present thoroughly checked optical properties in tabular form along with references to other papers with such tables (e.g. Wickramasinghe book, Mugnai & Wiscoumbe NASA issue, etc.).
  1. Fixed orientation, single particle
    Data tables classified by shapes, m, a/b, orientation, etc.

    quantities shape parameter values
    Qext, Qsca, Qbk, g, some Fij sphere 20*x, 10*m
    Qext, Qsca, Qbk, g, ind (TE/TM) inf.cyl. 20*x, 4*alpha, 10*m
    Qext, Qsca, Qbk, g, ind (TE/TM) fin.cyl. 10*x, 7*L/D, 4*alpha, 5*m
    Qext, Qsca, Qbk, g, some Fij spheroid 10*x, 9*a/b, 4*alpha, 5*m
    Qext, Qsca, Qbk, g, ind (TE/TM) Chebyshev p. 10*x, 4*n, 6*eps, 4*alpha, 5*m

    Incl.values:
    20*x = 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, 10.0, ...
    10*m = 1.3, 1.7, 1.7+0.03i, 2.5, 2.5+1.5i, 3+4i, ...
    4*alpha = 0, 30, 60, 90
    9*a/b = 1.1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 10, 30, 100, ...
    ...

  2. Random orientation, single particle
    A part of above tables.

  3. Polydisperse mixtures
    Some tables for spheres and spheroids(?).
