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

The basic formulas of generalized Lorenz–Mie theory are presented, and are applied to
scattering of a focused Gaussian laser beam by a spherical particle. Various applications of …

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 …

A theory is presented together with simulation results that describe three-dimensional
position detection of a sphere located in a highly focused beam by back-focal plane …

A so-called localized approximation, allowing one to speed up the evaluation of beam
shape coefficients in the generalized Lorenz–Mie theory for spheres, has been previously …

Axial and transverse radiation force cross-sections of optical tractor Bessel polarized beams
are theoretically investigated for a dielectric sphere with particular emphasis on the beam …

The T-matrix method is widely used for the calculation of scattering by particles of sizes on
the order of the illuminating wavelength. Although the extended boundary condition method …

A rigorous, simple and efficient approach is derived in this paper for multipole expansion of
a circularly symmetric Bessel beam. Different from the existing rigorous methods which are …

Multipole expansion of an incident radiation field—that is, representation of the fields as
sums of vector spherical wavefunctions—is essential for theoretical light scattering methods …

In face of a revival of interest in the finite series (FS) method due to recent developments
upon generalized Lorenz-Mie theories (GLMTs), a more general, understandable, and …
