Abstract
Numerical computations in the framework of the generalized Lorenz–Mie theory require the evaluation of a new double set of coefficients and (n = 1, …, ∞; m = − n, … +n). A localized interpretation of these coefficients is designed to permit fast and accurate computations, even on microcomputers. When the scatter center is located on the axis of the beam, a previously published localized approximation for a simpler set of coefficients gn is recovered as a special case. The subscript n in coefficients gn and is associated with ray localization and discretization of space in directions perpendicular to the beam axis, while superscript m in coefficients is associated with azimuthal wave modes.
