Abstract: | We consider homogeneous particles with a frequency-dependent index of refractionn =n +in = 1 + ( ), ![mid](/content/w8002v2542k90810/xxlarge8739.gif) ( )![mid](/content/w8002v2542k90810/xxlarge8739.gif) 1, in an outer electromagnetic field. From general considerations we derive an expression for the total scattering cross-section of these particles. We calculate the efficiency factor for the sphere, the infinite circular cylinder, and for an ellipsoidal particle with the main axesa=1,b=2,c=1. In contrast with the ray approximation, the present method can be used to calculate the polarization of the scattered light from ellipsoids. |
