Interpretation of extinction in Gaussian-beam scattering

Improved Gaussian beam-scattering algorithm.

The localized model of the beam-shape coefficients for Gaussian beam-scattering theory by a spherical particle provides a great simplification in the numerical implementation of the theory. We derive an alternative form for the localized coefficients that is more convenient for computer computations and that provides physical insight into the details of the scattering process. We construct a FO...

Scattering of Gaussian Beam by a Spheroidal Particle

Gaussian beam scattering by a spheroidal particle is studied in detail. A theoretical procedure is given to expand an incident Gaussian beam in terms of spheroidal vector wave functions within the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory framework. Exact analytic solutions are obtained for an arbitrarily oriented spheroid with nonconfocal dielectric coating. Normalized differential scattering cross sectio...

Gaussian Beam Scattering on Two-dimensional Periodic Aperture Array

The diffraction problem of three-dimensional Gaussian beam on the aperture array of rectangular holes is solved. A new algorithm for calculating scattered fields of the beam is proposed. The conditions under which the distortion of the reflected field pattern and the narrowing of the transmitted field pattern appear are studied.

The Gaussian Beam Summation and the Gaussian Launching Methods in Scattering Problem

This paper is mainly devoted to application of the Gaussian beam summation technique in electromagnetic simulations problem. Gaussian beams are asymptotic solutions of the Helmholtz equation within the paraxial approximation. Since they are insensitive to ray transition region, several techniques based on Gaussian beam are used to evaluate high frequency EM wave equation, which overcome partial...
