For a physicist, and more generally for a scientist, one of the pleasures in everyday life is to
detect exemplifying manifestations and avatars of the topic he is working on. Why do small …

This paper is the last paper (independently of possible future refinements and complements)
aiming to the partition of optical forces in the framework of generalized Lorenz–Mie theory …

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 …

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 …

The present study investigates the interaction between a chiral multilayer dielectric sphere
and dual laser beams. Using the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT), we extend the …

It is known since decades that optical forces in the framework of generalized Lorenz-Mie
theory (GLMT) may be decomposed into incident-scattered mixed forces and recoil forces …

The present topical issue contains 16 papers that are briefly introduced in what follows. They
are organized in seven categories or topics: computation of complex functions related to …
