The discrete dipole approximation code DDscat.C++: features, limitations and plans

We present a new freely available open-source C++ software for numerical solution of the electromagnetic waves absorption and scattering problems within the Discrete Dipole Approximation paradigm. The code is based upon the famous and free Fortan-90 code DDSCAT by B. Draine and P. Flatau. Started as...

We present a new freely available open-source C++ software for numerical solution of the electromagnetic waves absorption and scattering problems within the Discrete Dipole Approximation paradigm. The code is based upon the famous and free Fortan-90 code DDSCAT by B. Draine and P. Flatau. Started as a teaching project, the presented code DDscat.C++ differs from the parent code DDSCAT with a number of features, essential for C++ but quite seldom in Fortran. This article introduces the new code, explains its features, presents timing information and some plans for further development.
We would like to thank the DDSCAT parent code owners B. Draine and P. Flatau for warm attitude to newborn code, their answers and useful critics of our efforts. Another thanks we would like to express to the students of the Department of Experimental Physics of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, especially to S. Gorbyk, who were involved into the project.
