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 …

This work develops a three-core fiber optical tweezers probe with a double cone angle and
a tip microlens based on the Lorentz-Mie scattering theory. The primary parameters of the …

The optical force on a perovskite-coated gold nanosphere by a polarized Bessel beam is
investigated in the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT) framework. The dielectric function …

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 …

The beam shape coefficients (BSCs) of the electromagnetic field of the hollow vortex
Gaussian beams (HVGBs) are formulated, based on the spherical wave expansion (SWE) of …
