Abstract

In many fields of science and engineering, accurate information about light scattering properties of small nonspherical particles are necessary. In the so-called resonance region of particle size parameters, numerical methods for computing nonspherical scattering must be based on directly solving Maxwell's equations, because Rayleigh and geometric optics approximations are inapplicable. In this paper, we review the status of Waterman's T-matrix approach and we present some results obtained by computing orientationally-averaged light scattering characteristics for ensembles of nonspherical particles..
