        CrossRCW_BRDF_Model
         
	
        The class CrossRCW_BRDF_Model provides a BRDF_Model 
	interface to the CrossRCW_Model.  Since a periodic structure 
	yields delta-function-like peaks in the BRDF, the BRDF cannot be strictly evaluated
	for such a structure. However, it is sometimes useful to provide a mechanism for
	evaluating an effective BRDF.  This model provides that interface by spreading the 
	power of each diffracting order uniformly over a conical solid angle whose 
	half-angle is given by the parameter alpha.

	      Indicates whether the light is incident from above the
            substrate or from within the substrate and whether the
            scattering is evaluated in reflection or transmission.
            The choices are: 
	      0 : Light is incident from the above the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in reflection. 
	      1 : Light is incident from the above the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in transmission. 
	      2 : Light is incident from the within the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in reflection. 
	      3 : Light is incident from the within the substrate, and scattering is evaluated in transmission. 
	      For 1, 2, and 3, the substrate must be non-absorbing.

            dielectric_function | 
            The
            optical constants of the substrate, expressed as a
            complex number (n,k) or, optionally, as a function of
            wavelength.

            | alpha | 
            double | 
            The half-angle of 
	    a cone over which the power diffracted into 
	    each order is assumed to be spread [rad]. |
