The description of electromagnetic arbitrary shaped beams (eg laser beams) under
expanded forms requires the evaluation of expansion coefficients known as beam shape …

Optical trapping and manipulation of objects down to the Ångstrom level has revolutionized
research at the smallest scales in all natural sciences. The flexibility of optical trapping …

For a physicist, and more generally for a scientist, one of the pleasures in everyday life is to
detect exemplifying manifestations and avatars of the topic he is working on. Why do small …

Generalized Lorenz–Mie theory describes electromagnetic scattering of an arbitrary light
beam by a spherical particle. The computationally most expensive feature of the theory is the …

Generalized Lorenz–Mie theory describes electromagnetic scattering of an arbitrary light
beam by a spherical particle. The localized approximation is an analytical function that …

Numerical computations in the framework of the generalized Lorenz–Mie theory require the
evaluation of a new double set of coefficients gn, TMm and gn, TEm (n= 1,…,∞; m=− n,…+ …

Glare points are the intensity maxima seen when a water drop illuminated by a wide beam is
viewed from a certain direction and imaged. We show that good resolution in both the …

The authors present a synthetic formulation of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory. With this
very general fofmulation, they can describe scattering of arbitrary incident profiles by …

The angular spectrum representation of the vector Bessel-Gauss beam is used for
discussing the connection between the angular spectrum decomposition (ASD) method and …

The present paper may be viewed as built from comments concerning a recently published
paper in Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, and actually …
