The reduced scattering cross section per unit of volume Σʹs ≡Σs(1 - g) is an important parameter to describe light propagation in media with scattering and absorption. Mie calculations of the asymmetry factor g for nonabsorbing spheres and Qsca, the ratio of the scattering cross section Σs and the p...
