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.
