Provision of exact formulations for the "forward scattering of a Gaussian beam by a nonabsorbing sphere": comment.
The purpose of an earlier publication [Appl. Opt. 34, 2120 (1995)], to provide an exact formulation of the scattering of beamlike radiation fields from spheres, is clarified and its relation to the treatment of this subject in two more recent publications is described. Also, an error in the reference list in the earlier publication is rectified.
