Scattering and Absorption of Light by Small Particles
Bruce T. Draine, Dept. of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University
DDSCAT 7.3 -- a portable
f90 program to calculate
scattering and absorption of light by irregular targets, and by periodic
arrays of irregular targets.
adt.f -- subroutine ADT to calculate absorption and scattering by spheres in the "Anomalous Diffraction Theory" approximation (subroutine BESJ0 from Netlib, used by subroutine ADT is included in the file)
bhmie.f-- a
modified f77 version of Bohren and Huffman's subroutine for calculating
scattering and absorption by spheres.
callbhmie.f-- a simple f77 program to call bhmie.
bhcoat.f--a modified f77 version of Bohren and Huffman's subroutine for calculating scattering and absorption by coated spheres.
callbhcoat.f-- a simple f77 program to call bhcoat.
SCATTERLIB library of light scattering codes maintained by Piotr Flatau.
