Scattering and Polarization Properties of the Non-Spherical Particles

The albedo and dichroic polarization of spheroidal particles are studied. For the description of the phase function two asymmetry parameters $g_{\mathrm{\mid }\mathrm{\mid }}$ and $g_{\mathrm{\perp }}$ characterizing the anisotropy in forward/backward and left/right directions are introduced and calculated. The consideration is based on the solution to the light scattering problem by the Separation of Variables Method (Voshchinnikov and Farafonov, 1993).
