T matrix of the homogeneous anisotropic sphere: applications to orientation-averaged resonant scattering

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We illustrate some numerical applications of a recently derived semianalytic method for calculating the T matrix of a sphere composed of an arbitrary anisotropic medium with or without losses. This theory is essentially an extension of Mie theory of the diffraction by an isotropic sphere. We use this theory to verify a long-standing conjecture by Bohren and Huffman that the extinction cross section of an orientation-averaged anisotropic sphere is not simply the average of the extinction cross sections of three isotropic spheres, each having a refractive index equal to that of one of the principal axes.
