class MultilayerCoatedMieScatterer
A MultilayerCoatedMieScatterer is a SphericalScatterer for a
isotropic sphere with an arbitrary number of coatings.
Parameters:
Parameter |
Data Type |
Description |
Default |
lambda |
double |
Wavelength of the light
[µm].
(Inherited from Free_Space_Scatterer.) |
0.532 |
medium |
dielectric_function |
The
optical constants of the medium surrounding the sphere,
expressed as a complex number (n,k) or, optionally, as
a function of wavelength.
(Inherited from Free_Space_Scatterer.) |
(1,0) |
sphere |
dielectric_function |
The
optical constants of the sphere, expressed as a complex
number (n,k) or, optionally, as a function of
wavelength.
(Inherited from SphericalScatterer.) |
(1.59,0) |
radius |
double |
Total radius of
the sphere [µm], including the films.
(Inherited from SphericalScatterer.) |
0.05 |
stack |
StackModel_Ptr |
The dielectric stack describing the
thicknesses and optical properties of the coatings on the sphere (everything but the core). The sum
of all the thicknesses of the layers must be less than radius. The first layer in the stack
corresponds to that closest to the core.
