✦ Synopsis

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 focused beam scattering are also described, such as optimizing the rate at which morphology-dependent resonances are excited, laser trapping, particle manipulation, and the analysis of optical particle sizing instruments. Each of these applications requires either special positioning the beam with respect to the particle or illumination of only part of the particle by the beam.

The (electromagnetic) generalized Lorenz-Mie theory describes the interaction between an electromagnetic arbitrary shaped beam and a homogeneous sphere. It is a generalization of the Lorenz-Mie theory which deals with the simpler case of a plane-wave illumination. In a recent paper, we established t

During the year 2008, we have been commemorating, in several places, the hundredth anniversary of the famous 1908-paper by Mie describing the interaction between an electromagnetic plane wave and a homogeneous sphere defined by its diameter d and its complex refractive index m. Due to the existence
