mie_S1_S2

miepython.miepython.mie_S1_S2(m, x, mu, norm='albedo')

Calculate the scattering amplitude functions for spheres.

The amplitude functions have been normalized so that when integrated over all 4*pi solid angles, the integral will be qext*pi*x**2.

The units are weird, sr**(-0.5)

Parameters:

• m – the complex index of refraction of the sphere

• x – the size parameter of the sphere

• mu – cos(theta) or array of angles [cos(theta_i)]

Returns:

S1, S2 – the scattering amplitudes at each angle mu [sr**(-0.5)]
