Spheroids

Light scattering codes on spheroids can be solved using separation of variables (Mie-type), or using other techniques such as T-matrix; or volume methods such as discrete dipole approximation (for medium size parameters).

Link to code page Nikolai Voshchinnikov Series decomp. Fortran Light scattering by spheroidal particles treated with the separation of variables method. The code calculates the extinction, scattering and absorption efficiency factors for prolate or oblate homogeneous spheroids. The separation of variables method and an original scheme of solution of the light scattering problem are used (see for more details the papers cited below).
