Abstract

By introducing the wave front curvature as a generic property of rays, the Vectorial Complex Rays Model (VCRM) improves considerably the precision of ray models. This has been already applied to the prediction of the scattering diagrams of the plane wave by large ellipsoidal particles and the two dimensional Gaussian beam scattering by an elliptical infinite cylinder at normal incidence. In this communication, the VCRM will be further extended to the scattering of a Gaussian beam by an ellipsoidal particle. The amplitude, the phase and the wave front curvature of the incident Gaussian beam are considered, but the diffraction has not been taken into account yet.
