Abstract
The generalized Lorenz–Mie theory deals with the interaction
between spheres and arbitrarily shaped illuminating beams. An
efficient use of the theory requires efficient evaluation of the
so-called beam-shape coefficients involved in the description of the
illuminating beam. A less time-consuming method of evaluation
relies on the localized approximation. However, it lacks
flexibility when the description of the illuminating beam is
modified. We present a new version of this method, called the
integral localized approximation, that exhibits the desired property of
flexibility.
