The present paper pursues a fairly usual tradition basically devoted to reviews describing
advances in some light scattering theories in which the illuminating beam is described using …

Previous works have been devoted to the symmetry properties of the Poynting vector for
longitudinal axisymmetric beams expressed in terms of beam shape coefficients (BSCs). In …

As a vector version of scalar Bessel beams, Poincaré–Bessel beams (PBBs) have attracted
a great deal of attention due to their non-diffracting and self-healing properties as well as the …

The paper investigates the scattering analytical solution of arbitrary direction double zero-
order Bessel beams (ZOBBs) incident on a non-uniform layered chiral sphere. Using the …

Vectorial structured light beams, characterized by their topological charge and non-uniform
polarization distribution, are highly promising beam modes for several applications in …

This chapter is dedicated to the general volume-discretization method, known as the
discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The main DDA equations are presented for local non …

The optical force exerted on a Rayleigh dielectric spherical particle by a photonic jet is
investigated in the framework of the Rayleigh approximation. The photonic jet is generated …
