Mie Scattering Calculator

About Mie scattering calculator

Calculate extinction, scattering and absorption of a spherical particle for any of 3,000+ materials in the refractiveindex.info database — just pick a material, set the diameter and the surrounding medium.

Parameters

Diameter — particle diameter, 1–1000 nm.
n env — refractive index of the surrounding medium (1 for air or vacuum, 1.33 for water).
wl step — use every N-th wavelength point; larger values make the calculation faster on wide spectral ranges.
