Springer Series in Optical Sciences "Light Scattering by Systems of Particles comprehensively develops the theory of the null-field method, while covering almost all aspects and current applications. The Null-field Method with Discrete Sources is an extension of the Null-field Method (also called T-Matrix Method) to compute light scattering by arbitrarily shaped dielectric particles. It also incorporates FORTRAN programs and exemplary simulation results that demonstrate all aspects of the latest developments of the method. The FORTRAN source programs included on the enclosed CD exemplify the wide range of application of the T-matrix method. Worked examples of the application of the FORTRAN programs show readers how to adapt or modify the programs for his specific application." (Klappentext) Inhalt (Hauptkapitel): 1. Basic theory of electromagnetic scattering 2. Null-field method 3. Simulation results
