Query: Light scattering by optically anisotropic scatterers II: T--matrix
  computations for radially and uniformly anisotropic droplets   This is the second paper in a series on light scattering from optically
anisotropic scatterers embedded in an isotropic medium. The apparently complex
T-matrix theory involving mixing of angular momentum components turns out to be
an efficient approach to calculating scattering in these systems. We present
preliminary results of numerical calculations of the scattering by spherical
droplets in some simple cases. The droplets contain optically anisotropic
material with local radial or uniform anisotropy. We concentrate on cases in
which the scattering is due only to the local optical anisotropy within the
scatterer. For radial anisotropy we find non-monotonic dependence of the
scattering cross-section on the degree of anisotropy can occur in a regime for
which both the Rayleigh and semi-classical theories are inapplicable. For
uniform anisotropy the cross-section is strongly dependent on the angle between
the incident light and the optical axis, and for larger droplets this
dependence is non-monotonic.
