Using the T-matrix method for light scattering computations by non-axisymmetric particles: Superellipsoids and realistically shaped particles
Light scattering by non-axisymmetric particles is commonly needed in particle characterization and other fields. After much work devoted to volume discretization methods to compute scattering by such particles, there is renewed interest in the T-matrix method. We extended the null-field method with discrete sources for T-matrix computation and implemented the superellipsoid shape using an implicit equation. Additionally, a triangular surface patch model of a realistically shaped particle can be used for scattering computations. In this paper some exemplary results of scattering by non-axisymmetric particles are presented.
