InfiniteCylinder: Goniometer#
This example demonstrates how to use a goniometer setup to measure and visualize the coupling efficiency as a function of angular displacement for cylindrical scatterers using PyMieSim.

Result dimensions and shape: ('detector:NA', 'detector:phi_offset') (4, 200)
Measure units: {'coupling': <Unit('watt')>}
