T-matrix method
T-matrix method - computatational technique of light scattering by nonspherical particles.
Original formulation is due to P. C. Waterman in 1965. [1] The technique is also known as null field method and extended boundary technique method (EBCM). Matrix elements are obtained by matching boundary conditions for solution of Maxwell equations. The incident, transmitted, and scattered field are expanded into spherical vector wave functions.
