Abstract

We calculate ball lens reflections, using the exact solution of Maxwell’s equations for the scattering of a beam from a dielectric sphere. Our results are consistent to within 1 dB with measurements of backreflection to a single-mode fiber. We also calculate backreflection to an astigmatic spot laser diode.
