Next: Examples of data contained Up: Electronic database Previous: Future plans . In astrophysics, the optical constants mainly are used to calculate the optical properties of scatterers, i.e. cross-sections, scattering matrix, etc. ... Optical properties derived from such models have been discussed in some books (see, e.g., [ 2 , 3 ]) and in principle can be calculated by using various light-scattering tools which are freely available via the internet [ 4 ]. ...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...
