From Praxis Publishing:
“Eikonal, or soft-particle approximations, have been studied extensively in potential scattering and subsequent optical scattering problems. The study of these approximations is very important, because soft particles are found abundantly in nature, for example – ocean optics, biomedial optics, atmospheric optics – as well as in many industrial applications.
Light Scattering by Optically Soft Particles
* is the only book devoted solely to soft particle light scattering approximations
* offers a complete and comprehensive treatment of all the important soft particle approximations
* discusses the role of soft particle scattering approximations in various scientific disciplines
* covers the theory as well as the practice of the approximations
The book also contains a brief review of the eikonal approximation in potential scattering, giving a clearer understanding of its role in light scattering problems.”
