Studies of light scattering by complex particles using the null-field method with discrete sources

  • Chapter
Light Scattering Reviews 2

Part of the book series: Springer Praxis Books ((ENVIRONSCI))

Abstract

Light scattering has an increasing importance in modern technologies. Examples are characterization of particles in natural or technical environments, surface characterization, biomedical sensing and nanotechnology. As a consequence, the development of accurate and fast methods devoted to the numerical simulation of electromagnetic and light scattering has become of fundamental importance.
