MMP FORTRAN code for electromagnetics simulation available on disk in

Christian Hafner, Lars Bomholt, The 3D Electromagnetic Wave Simulator, Wiley, Chichester 1993.

The book is out of print, but the tex-file and an executable code of 3D MMP compiled for Windows NT is available from Christian Hafner's server, ETH Zürich.

This code may be used for scattering by nonspherical nonsymmetrical arbitary 3D bodies. It has been applied to spheres in a Gaussian beam, spheroids, plates, cubes, finite cylinders, rain drops, spheres having multiple inclusions, clusters of spheres, spheroids and plates.

ScattPy

ScattPy is an open source Python package for light scattering simulations. Its goal is to provide an easy-to-use and flexible modern framework for the numerical solving of the diffraction problems with various kinds of particles. ScattPy includes the separation of variables (SVM), extended boundary condition (EBCM) and point matching (PMM) methods.

Classical Fortran 77 code based on a Separation of Variables Method scheme using spheroidal development, kindly made available by Shoji Asano, to compute scattering by spheroidal particles.

Published in:

Shoji Asano and Giichi Yamamoto: Light Scattering by a Spheroidal Particle.
Applied Optics, Vol. 14, Issue 1, pp. 29-49 (1975) .

The code, additional information by Shoji Asano and the corresponding paper can be found

This code calculates the extinction, scattering and absorption efficiency factors for prolate or oblate homogeneous spheroids. The separation of variables method (SVM) and an original scheme of solution of the light scattering problem are used.
