Scattering of laser pulses (plane wave and focused gaussian beam) by spheres.
The scattering of laser pulses (in the femtosecond-picosecond range) by large spheres is investigated. We call a sphere large when its diameter is larger than the length associated with the pulse duration, allowing one to observe the temporal separation of scattering modes including surface waves.
