Abstract
The generalized Lorenz–Mie theory describes the electromagnetic
scattering of a Gaussian laser beam by a spherical particle. The most
intensive computational aspect of the theory concerns the evaluation of the
beam-shape coefficients in the general case of an off-axis location of the
scatterer. These beam-shape coefficients can be computed starting from the set
of beam-shape coefficients for an on-axis location by using the addition
theorem for the spherical vector wave functions of the first kind under a
translation of the coordinate origin.
