Abstract
A multiple scattering method is described for calculating extinction, absorption and scattering cross-sections for dielectric particles of arbitrary shape, whose dimensions are comparable to the wavelength of the incident radiation. Numerical application to spheres agrees well with the Mie theory. An extension for a collection of arbitrarily shaped particles with application to zodiacal light is also given.Keywords
