The radiative transfer framework that underlies all current rendering of volumes is limited to scattering media whose properties are invariant to rotation. Many systems allow for "anisotropic scattering," in the sense that scattered intensity depends on th ...
The accepted model for light emission and propagation in organic LEDs (OLED) which consists of several optically thin functional layers deposited on a thick substrate is a classical dipole located in the emitting layer. The propagation of the emitted light ...

Rigorous diffraction theory is a reliable tool to quantify the absorption enhancement in textured thin film solar cells. We provide a line of arguments that make the insights from such an involved analysis accessible to a broader community by using a scala ...
A classical electromagnetic calculation of the lifetime of an emitting electric dipole near a material slab is presented. The lifetime is deduced from the imaginary part of the electric field Green's tensor associated with the stratified medium. The method ...
Light or electromagnetic wave scattered by a single sphere or a coated sphere has been considered as a classic Mie theory. There have been some further extensions that were made further based on the Mie theory. Recently, a closed-form analytical model of t ...
Inversion of tropospheric profiles from ground-based microwavemeasurements requires a simple and accurate model for calculating the brightness temperatures as received by the radiometer. In the first part, an analytic solution of the radiative transfer equ ...
We describe a library to compute various types of Green's tensor for three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering calculations. This library includes the retarded and non-retarded (quasi-static) Green's tensors for infinite homogeneous space and the non-re ...
A new fully adaptive multiresolution method is applied for the simulation of the complex dynamics of waves in excitable media in electrocardiology, where the membrane kinetics are given by the Aliev–Panfilov or Luo–Rudy II models. Numerical experiments sho ...
The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was studied with the discrete dipole approximation considering different shapes, sizes, dielectric environments, and supraparticles assemblies. In particular, we focused our simulations on ...
We introduce a variational total-energy functional to treat finite homogeneous electric fields with periodic boundary conditions and show that this functional can be implemented within a Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics scheme. The Coupling to an electric ...
