Any dataset here, as the library's Tabulated material (tlbr-tli/rodney-malitson-1956).
# ... load tlbr_tli as above, then:
sim = ls.Simulation(
particles=[ls.Particle(shape=ls.Sphere(radius_nm=50), material=tlbr_tli)],

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