Development of TUSCAT: A software for light scattering studies on spherical, spheroidal and cylindrical particles

An integrated software package TUSCAT (Tezpur University SCATtering Software) incorporated with a graphical user interface (GUI) was developed for modeling electromagnetic scattering from small particles and also to yield characteristic properties of the scattering particles from experimental data. Its interactive features enable the user to observe the changes in output scattering properties in real time. In addition to its ease of use, it has high computational accuracy, efficiency, reliability and adaptability.

► Graphical user interface (GUI) integrated computer programs are very useful. ► Very few works to develop GUI integrated light scattering software were reported. ► A software package TUSCAT incorporated with an interactive GUI was developed. ► The software is simple, accurate and reliable.
