Example 1 (Monodisperse distribution: One Wavelength)

This example presents a single-wavelength simulation for monodisperse spheres possessing a complex refractive index. The results from the Mie Simulator GUI demonstrate excellent agreement with Scott Prahl's Mie Scattering Calculator; minor discrepancies primarily attributed to the number of angular divisions employed in each calculation.

Simulation parameters:

Sphere Diameter: 1.0microns
Refractive Index of Medium: 1.0
Real Refractive Index of Sphere: 1.5
Imaginary Refractive Index of Sphere: -0.5
Wavelength: 632.8nm
Number Density:1e8spheres/mm3
Number of Angles: 360 (dtheta = π/360 = 0.5˚)
