SVWF()

function SVWF	(	in	k,
		in	R,
		in	nu,
		in	tau,
		in	l,
		in	m
	)

Spherical vector wave functions.

The convention for the definition of the SVWFs is taken from "Light Scattering by Systems of Particles, Null-Field Method with Discrete Sources: Theory and Programs" by A. Doicu, T. Wriedt, and Y.A. Eremin

See also the theory section.

Parameters

k	(float): wavenumber
R	(3xN float array): positions where to evaluate the field in the format [x1,...,xN; y1,...,yN; z1,...,zN]
nu	(int): regular (nu=1) or outgoing (nu=3) SVWF
tau	(int): polarization (spherical TE, i.e., rxM=0 is tau=1, spherical TM is tau=2)
l	(int): polar quantum number (degree), l=1,...
m	(int): azimuthal quantum number (order), m=-l,...,l

Return values

N	(float array): field components in format [Ex1,...,Exn; Ey1,...,Eyn; Ez1,...,Ezn]
