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. The new edition
includes an additional chapter covering the latest advances in both
research and applications, which are highly relevant for readers.
Although it particularly focuses on the homogeneous sphere, the
book also considers other regular particles. It discusses in detail
the methods available for evaluating beam shape coefficients
describing the illuminating beam. In addition it features
applications used in many fields such as optical particle sizing
and, more generally, optical particle characterization,
morphology-dependent resonances and the mechanical effects of light
for optical trapping, optical tweezers and optical stretchers.
Furthermore, it provides various computer programs relevant to the
content.
Optical particle s1z1ng is undoubtedly a fascinating field of
research of the utmost practical importance. In the Universe fluids
are nearly everywhere, and when they occur they almost invariably
contain particles. Inside our bodies we can take the example of
blood transporting a vi tal procession of red and white cells.
Around us, we can find various particles in the air we breathe,
bubbles in the champagne or the soda we drink, or natural and
artificial (polluting ) particles in the lakes we swim in.
Industrial processes and systems are also concerned with particles,
from pulverized coal flames to fluidized beds, in a range of
applications involving rocket exhausts, pneuma tic transport and
more generally the infinite realm of mul tiphase situations. Such
an obviously vast field would require a whole volume like this one
merely to attempt to describe it superficially. To be sure, we
would need a scientific Prevert to catalogue such an endless
inventory. Finally, even outside our terrestrial spaceship
particles can be detected in alien atmospheres or between stars.
Theorists will enjoy analyzing the richness of light/particle
interact. ion, a subject which is very far from being exhausted.
Experimental researchers will love designing and studying various
probing instruments with a laser source at the input and a computer
at the output, two requisites of today' s technological revolution.
