This book explores generalized Lorenz-Mie theories when the illuminating beam is an electromagnetic arbitrary shaped beam relying on the method of separation of variables. Although it particularly focuses on the homogeneous sphere, the book also considers other regular particles... Read Full Overview

The Lorenz-Mie theory, describing the interaction between a homogeneous sphere and an electromagnetic plane wave, is likely to be one of the most famous theories in light scattering. But, with the advent of lasers and their increasing development in various fields, it has become... Read Full Overview
