RayleighScatterer
The class RayleighScatterer is a
SphericalScatterer in the limit that the sphere is
much smaller than the
wavelength.
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 |
