Abstract
The calculation of the classical Mie theory is very important for particle size analysis. In the work, an improved algorithm of Mie scattering calculation is presented. By re-constructing the Mie scattering coefficients, a parameter is found to control the convergence and the precision of the Mie calculation. The related parameters are calculated by means of the proper downward or upward recurrences respectively, which are proved to be very fast and stable. Numerical calculation shows that the algorithm is efficient, reliable and robust in an extremely wide range of particle size and refractive index.
