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.

Description |
Default |
lambda |
double |
Wavelength of the light in vacuum [µm].
(Inherited from BRDF_Model). |
0.532 |
type |
int |
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.

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]. |
