| Summary: | This book gives a detailed overview of the theory of electromagnetic wave scattering on single, homogeneous, but nonspherical particles. A related Green’s function formalism is systematically developed which provides a powerful mathematical basis not only for the development of numerical approaches but also to discuss those general aspects like symmetry, unitarity, and the validity of Rayleigh’s hypothesis. Example simulations are performed in order to demonstrate the usefulness of the developed formalism as well as to introduce the simulation software which is provided on a CD-ROM with the book. Scatteringofelectromagneticwavesonthree-dimensional,dielectricstructures is a basic interaction process in physics, which is also of great practical - portance. Most of our visual impressions are caused not by direct but by scattered light, as everybody can experience of looking directly at the sun. Several modern measurement technologies in technical and medical diagn- tics are also based on this interaction process. Atmospheric remote sensing with lidar and radar as well as nephelometer instruments for measuring s- pended particulates in a liquid or gas colloid are only a few examples where scattered electromagnetic waves provide us with information concerning the structure and consistence of the objects under consideration. Using the inf- mation of the elastically scattered electromagnetic wave is a common ground of most of those measuring methods. The phrase "elastically scattered" - presses the restriction that we consider such interaction processes only where the scattered wave possesses the same wavelength as the primary incident wave. This book addresses this special scattering problem. |
