چکیده

Experimental laser beam profiles often deviate somewhat from the ideal Gaussian shape of the axisymmetric TEM(00) laser mode. To take these deviations into account when calculating light scattering of an off-axis beam by a spherical particle, we use our phase-modeling method to approximate the beam-shape coefficients in the partial wave expansion of an experimental laser beam. We then use these beam-shape coefficients to compute the near-forward direction scattering of the off-axis beam by the particle. Our results are compared with laboratory data, and we give a physical interpretation of the various features observed in the angular scattering patterns.

Far-field scattering of an axisymmetric laser beam of arbitrary profile by an on-axis spherical particle.

Experimental laser beam profiles often deviate somewhat from the ideal Gaussian shape of the TEM(00) laser mode. In order to take these deviations into account when calculating light scattering, we propose a method for approximating the beam shape coefficients in the partial wave expansion of an experimental laser beam. We then compute scattering by a single dielectric spherical particle placed...

Electromagnetic field calculations for a sphere illuminated by a higher-order Gaussian beam. II. Far-field scattering.

A previously developed theoretical procedure for determination of electromagnetic fields associated with the interaction of a higher-order Gaussian beam with a homogeneous spherical particle is used to investigate the effects of incident beam type on far-field scattering. Far-field scattering patterns are calculated for (0,0), (0,1), and (1,1) mode Hermite-Gaussian beams and for the helix dough...

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...
