Abstract
Structured light refers to an optical field with modulated phase and amplitude, characterized by distinct spatial patterns. It has applications in optical manipulation, 3D imaging, remote sensing, and communications. The Generalized Lorenz-Mie Theory (GLMT) extends foundational Mie theory to accommodate complex structured lights, enabling precise characterization of structured light-particle interactions. GLMT has emerged as a central theoretical framework for analyzing interactions between spherical particles and arbitrary structured light. This paper introduces ABSphere, simulation software utilizing GLMT to model structured light-spherical particle interactions. It then comprehensively reviews representative structured lights, including Laguerre–Gaussian, Bessel, and Airy beams, elucidating their interactions with spherical particles. Understanding structured light scattering behavior is crucial for elucidating underlying interaction mechanisms with spherical particles. The paper also emphasizes the significance of modeling structured light scattering by particles and discusses future directions for ABSphere software. Through continuous theoretical refinements and advancements, deeper understanding of structured light-particle interaction mechanisms can be achieved, enabling innovations in optical applications and technologies.
