Lambertian scattering.

Classes:

Name Description
LambertianScattering

Lambertian scattering from an interface.

LambertianScattering 

LambertianScattering(scale_factor=1)

Bases: ScatteringModel

Lambertian scattering from an interface.

This assumes omnidirectional scattering from the interface. The strength of the scattered intensity is I₀ cos ϴ where I₀ is the incident energy and ϴ the angle between the incident vector and the normal of the interface.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
scale_factor float

An additional multiplicative scale factor to include, for example to model a material-dependent scattering strength.
