Abstract

This paper analytically investigates scattering and absorption of a polymer microparticle for laser. Micrometer- and nanometer-sized particles possess characteristic physical and chemical properties different from those of bulk materials. Based on the measurement of radiation pressure exerted on a particle, the absorption analysis of a polymer microparticle with a diameter 5 Â¿m had been conducted. Assuming the polymer microparticles to be spherical and neglecting net charges on the particle, the classical electromagnetic wave theory is employed to analyze the scattering and absorption of a polymer microparticle for laser. The effects of parameters on the scattering and absorption of a polymer microparticle are discussed in this paper.
