A new recurrence algorithm accurately calculates the electromagnetic scattering fields of multilayered spheres. This method enhances numerical stability and efficiency for diverse sphere sizes and refractive indices.

Area of Science:

  • Electromagnetic theory
  • Computational physics
  • Optical sciences

Background:

  • Calculating electromagnetic scattering fields of multilayered spheres is crucial in various scientific and engineering applications.
  • Existing methods often face numerical difficulties, particularly for large, highly absorbing, or thin shell structures.
  • Mie theory provides a foundation for scattering calculations but requires adaptation for multilayered systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved recurrence algorithm for accurately computing the scattering field of multilayered spheres.
  • To enhance the numerical stability and efficiency of scattering calculations for a wide range of parameters.
  • To provide a more concise and convenient computational method compared to existing approaches.
