Discrete dipole model of scattering by discretely inhomogeneous plane parallel media

摘要

A formulation and computational algorithm for directly simulating the electromagnetic wave reflection, transmission, and absorption properties of plane parallel layers of random particulate media, in which the characteristic size of the particles is comparable to the radiation wavelength. No assumption is made regarding the concentration of the particles; the application is specifically intended for the high particle concentration case characteristic of regolith, pigment layers, functional thin films, and so on.
