SCATMECH is an easy to use, unique, simple, object-oriented C++ class library developed to distribute models for light scattering applications.
Included in SCATMECH are models for diffuse surface scattering that predict the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), codes for calculating scattering by isolated particles, and codes for reflection, transmission, and diffraction from gratings.
Emphasis has been given to those diffuse scatter models which are physics-based and which predict the polarization properties of the scattered light.
SCATMECH also includes a number of classes that may be useful for working with polarized light or the optics of thin films.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· An error was found in grating.cpp for Generic_Grating which caused an exception to be thrown under rare conditions indicating the grating was invalid. The error was fixed.
· An #include was added to matrixmath.h to allow some routines to compile properly.
