Light Scattering by non-spherical inhomogeneous particles: fast computations

The main idea of this book is to provide the reader with tools to solve the problem of modeling the interactions between radiation and light scatterers. The authors review contemporary scattering methods and introduce efficient versions of the fast exact methods as well as of some approximate ones. They also summarize theoretical studies of the applicability ranges of the methods, and illustrate the principal effects on optical properties on scatterer shape and structure.
