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 …

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 …

Among the many works of Arthur Ashkin, many have been devoted to optical tweezers,
optical levitation and optical manipulation of macroscopic particles (“macroscopic” being …

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

T-matrix methods for electromagnetic structured beams mainly encompass Generalized
Lorenz-Mie Theories (GLMTs) which form a set of analytical approaches dealing with the …

Abstract In generalized Lorenz-Mie theory, the beam shape coefficients of Gauss-like beams
obtained with finite series method blow up when the wave order is high. The blowing-ups …

In T-matrix methods (generalized Lorenz–Mie theories or extended boundary condition
method), beam shape coefficients encoding the shape of the illuminating structured beam …

In the analysis of light scattering by spherical particles, the incident beam is expanded into
an infinite series of spherical wave functions weighted by the beam shape coefficients …

The evaluation of beam shape coefficients (BSCs) which encodes the description of the
illuminating beam is an essential issue in light scattering theories of spherical particles, such …

When dealing with T-matrix methods for structured beams, eg Generalized Lorenz–Mie
