calculate_detector_response: Calculate Detector Response

In rogerswt/flowMie: Modeling a Detector Response to Scattering of (Multi-layer) Spherical Particles

Description

This function performs the numerical integration of detected scattering signal over the detector surface. A significant constraint is that the detector is assumed to be cylindrically symmetrical.

We retrieve the scattering amplitudes from Rscattnlay, and calculate the Stokes matrix elements S11 and S12, which are required to accurately handle polarization effects.

Usage

calculate_detector_response(
  particle = create_EV(d = 180),
  detector = create_detector(),
  dr = 0.02,
  dphi = 10
)

Arguments

particle	A Scatterer particle description. This object encapsulates the medium's and the particle's refractive indices, the particle's geometry (e.g. core + shell, just core, etc), and the incident radiation wavelength. Default = an EV with diameter 180 nm.
detector	A detector object, created using create_detector. This object describes the geometry of the detector as well as the polarization state of the incident light.
dr	The numerical integration delta_radius across the detector, whose diameter is, by definition, 1.0. Integration limits are 0,1. Default = 0.02, accurate to about 2 percent.
dphi	The numerical integration of azimuthal angle delta_phi across the detector. Integration limits are 0,360. Default = 10.0, accurate to about .06 percent.
