title: Comparison of diffraction theory and generalized Lorenz-Mie theory for a sphere located on the axis of a laser beam.
abstract: Scattered light patterns from a spherical particle located on the axis of a Gaussian beam are computed with localized interpretation of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory and compared with diffraction theory results as well as experimental results.
