Coherent Illumination?

[Tom Dimiduk]

Does adda implicitly assume an incoherent incident wave? I would like
to compute scattering values to compare with digital holograms which I
capture with coherent illumination, so I would like to be able to
simulate scattering with a coherent incident wave. I could not find any
reference to coherence of the incident wave in either the manual or the
most prominently referenced papers.

Thanks,
Tom

ADDA assumes coherent fully time-periodic monochromatic incident wave, which is either a plane or a Gaussian one. So it
should suit your application.

Great, that is exactly what I would want. Thanks for the quick reply.
