Any dataset here, as the library's Tabulated material (cspb-brcl-3/ermolaev-2023-br1-3cl1-7-e).
# ... load cspb as above, then:
sim = ls.Simulation(
particles=[ls.Particle(shape=ls.Sphere(radius_nm=50), material=cspb)],
medium_index=1.0,
wavelengths=ls.WavelengthRange(start_nm=455, stop_nm=500, num=81),

res = ls.solve(sim) # exact Mie for a sphere
print(res.q_ext) # extinction efficiency at each wavelength
Same spec runs with DDA, FDTD, BEM or T-matrix: ls.compare(sim, ["mie", "dda"]).
