// Description: Discrete Process -- Mie Scattering of Optical Photons
// Created: 2010-07-03
// Author: Xin Qian
// Based on work from Vlasios Vasileiou
//
// This subroutine will mimic the Mie scattering based on 
// Henyey-Greenstein phase function
// Forward and backward angles are treated separately.
