离散偶极子近似模拟远大于波长的粒子光散射

The discrete dipole approximation for simulation of light scattering by particles much larger than the wavelength

Maxim A. Yurkin, Valeri P. Maltsev, Alfons G. Hoekstra

摘要:

在这篇手稿中,我们调查的离散偶极子近似(DDA)的能力,以模拟散射的粒子是远远大于入射光的波长,并描述了一个优化的公开可用的DDA计算机程序,处理大量的偶极子需要这样的模拟。数值模拟了折射率m=1.05和m = 2时,尺寸参数x分别为160和40的球体的光散射,并与Mie理论的精确结果进行了比较。积分和角分辨散射量的误差一般随m的增加而增加,对x没有系统的依赖性。计算时间随着x和m的增加而急剧增加,在64个处理器的集群上达到超过2周的值。该计算机程序的主要特点是能够在一组计算机上并行化单个DDA模拟,这使得它能够模拟非常大的粒子的光散射,就像本手稿中考虑的那些粒子一样。目前的局限性和可能的改进方法进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

In this manuscript we investigate the capabilities of the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) to simulate scattering from particles that are much larger than the wavelength of the incident light, and describe an optimized publicly available DDA computer program that processes the large number of dipoles required for such simulations. Numerical simulations of light scattering by spheres with size parameters x up to 160 and 40 for refractive index m=1.05 and 2 respectively are presented and compared with exact results of the Mie theory. Errors of both integral and angle-resolved scattering quantities generally increase with m and show no systematic dependence on x. Computational times increase steeply with both x and m, reaching values of more than 2 weeks on a cluster of 64 processors. The main distinctive feature of the computer program is the ability to parallelize a single DDA simulation over a cluster of computers, which allows it to simulate light scattering by very large particles, like the ones that are considered in this manuscript. Current limitations and possible ways for improvement are discussed.
