摘要
The beam splitting algorithm permitting one to obtain a solution of the problem of light scattering by atmospheric crystalline ice particles in the geometrical optics approximation is presented. The construction of Jones and Mueller matrices is considered in detail as a basis of the algorithm. Special attention is paid to the interface of the program implementation of the algorithm, which facilitates its introduction in a thirdparty project. The developed algorithm is freely available as an open source software. © 2015, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
