Based on two dimensional Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, a code is developed to calculate the light scattering by nanoparticles of arbitrary shape. We employ Recursive Convolution (RC) technique to implement dispersive materials in FDTD method. Finally, we utilize the code to investigate the dependency of the total scattering cross section (SCS) on nanoparticle properties such as shape, size, background refractive index, etc.
