Quantitative investigation of the validity conditions for the Beckmann-Kirchhoff scattering model (2022)
Journal Article

Approximate and rigorous methods are widely used to model light scattering from a surface. The boundary element method (BEM) is a rigorous model that accounts for polarization and multiple scattering effects. BEM is suitable to model the scattered li...
