Model Software:

SCATMECH: Polarized Light Scattering C++ Class Library -- A C++ object class library has been developed to distribute models for polarized light scattering from surfaces. It is the intent of this library to allow researchers in the light-scattering community to fully utilize the models described in the publications found below. Included in the library are also a number of classes that may be useful to anyone working with polarized light. The library is constructed so that it can easily be expanded to include new models.

MIST: Modeled Integrated Scatter Tool -- The MIST program has been developed to provide users with a general application to model an integrated scattering system. The program performs an integration of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) over solid angles specified by the user and allows the dependence of these integrals on model parameters to be investigated. The models are provided by the SCATMECH library of scattering codes.
