  • Generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory and applications
    Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 2009
    Co-Authors: James A. Lock, G. Gouesbet
    Abstract:

    Abstract 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.

  • Asymptotic quantum inelastic generalized Lorenz-Mie Theory
    Optics Communications, 2007
    Co-Authors: G. Gouesbet
    Abstract:

    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 consider (i) elastic cross-sections in electromagnetic generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory and (ii) elastic cross-sections in an associated quantum generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory. We demonstrated that the electromagnetic problem is equivalent to a superposition of two effective quantum problems. We now intend to generalize this result from elastic cross-sections to inelastic cross-sections. A prerequisite is to build an asymptotic quantum inelastic generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory, which is presented in this paper.

  • Asymptotic quantum inelastic generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory
    Optics Communications, 2006
    Co-Authors: G. Gouesbet
    Abstract:

    Abstract 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 that, if we restrict ourselves to the study of cross-sections, both for elastic and inelastic scatterings, a macroscopic sphere in Lorenz–Mie Theory is formally equivalent to a quantum-like radial potential. To generalize this result, a prerequisite is to possess an asymptotic quantum generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory expressing cross-sections in the case of a quantum radial potential interacting with a sub-class of quantum arbitrary wave-packets. Such a Theory, restricted however to elastic scattering, is presented in this paper.

  • Generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory for infinitely long cylinders with elliptical cross sections: erratum
    Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2005
    Co-Authors: G. Gouesbet, Loic Mees
    Abstract:

    Corrections for the generalized Lorenz–Mie Theory for infinitely long cylinders with elliptical cross sections are provided.

  • Generalized Lorenz-Mie Theory for a spheroidal particle with off-axis Gaussian-beam illumination
    Applied Optics, 2003
    Co-Authors: Yingping Han, Gérard Gréhan, G. Gouesbet
    Abstract:

    The beam-shape coefficients of arbitrary off-axis Gaussian beams in spheroidal coordinates are evaluated with a generalized Lorenz-Mie Theory. The light-scattering properties of absorbing and nonabsorbing homogeneous spheroidal particles, such as the angular distribution of scattered intensity for a wide range of particles sizes and different complex refractive indices versus the magnitude and location of the beam waist, are investigated.

  • geometrical optics and diffraction vis a vis Mie Theory of scattering of electromagnetic radiation by a sphere
    Astrophysics and Space Science, 1992
    Co-Authors: G A Shah
    Abstract:

    The usefulness of the classical Geometrical Optics and Diffraction (GOD) has been illustrated for scattering of electromagnetic radiation by very large dielectric and absorbing spheres. Various scattering parameters such as extinction efficiency, asymmetry parameter, radiation pressure, etc., have been calculated on the basis of GOD and compared with the equivalent results obtained as per the Mie Theory. The spheres are assumed to be composed of pure and impure silicate-like or polystyrene material in the visual wavelengths. The representative indices of refractionm=m′−im″ are chosen to bem′=1.6 andm″=0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.30, 1.00, 2.00, and 4.00. It is shown that the asymptotic values of a given scattering parameter obtained from the Mie Theory calculations agree reasonably well with the corresponding result based on GOD. It is thus possible to estimate the minimum value (xmin) of the size-to-wavelength parameterx(=2πa/λ;a, the radius of the sphere; and λ, the wavelength of the incident radiation), such that, forx>xmin, GOD holds good for certain specified accuracy.
