Examples
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, with any minor discrepancies primarily attributed to the number of angular divisions employed in each calculation.
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˚)
