In cda: Coupled-Dipole Approximation for Electromagnetic Scattering by Three-Dimensional Clusters of Sub-Wavelength Particles

##' Coupled-dipole approximation for electromagnetic scattering by three-dimensional clusters of subwavelength particles
##'
##' Coupled-dipole simulations for electromagnetic scattering of light by sub-wavelength 
##' particles in arbitrary 3-dimensional configurations. Scattering and absorption spectra 
##' are simulated by inversion of the interaction matrix, or by an order-of-scattering 
##' approximation scheme. High-level functions are provided to simulate spectra with 
##' varying angles of incidence, as well as with full angular averaging.
