Optical properties of (highly) absorbing spheres

1. Integral characteristics

Their dependence on the diffraction parameter x for several refractive indeces m=n+ki is given in the following figures:

Parameters Qext (x) Qsca (x) Qabs (x) albedo (x) g (x) Qpr (x) Qbk (x) Notes
 n=1.5, 2.5, 3.5;
  k=1.5 		 fig fig fig fig fig   x = 0 -- 7
 n=2.5;
