Links to Codes to Compute Optical Properties
There are many different numerical methods and computed codes to compute the optical properties of different shapes of particles.
SCATTERLIB has codes to compute scattering by many types of particles by various numerical methods.
Mie codes:
the bhmie code of Bohren and Huffman (1983) , in different computer languages
codes from UMaine including fastMie by Wayne Slade
For nonspherical and aggregated particles, there are
and discrete dipole approximation codes:
and
Codes for the Computation of the Bidirectional Reflection Function for Flat Particulate Layers and Rough Surfaces:
