Mie theory is one of the main tools describing scattering of propagating electromagnetic waves by spherical particles. Evanescent optical fields are also scattered by particles and exert radiation forces which can be used for optical near-field manipulations. We show that the Mie theory can be naturally adopted for the scattering of evanescent waves via rotation of its standard solutions by a c...

Conventional tomography (X-ray scanner, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography, Positron Emission Tomography, etc.) is widely used in numerous fields such as biomedical imaging, non-destructive industrial testing and environmental survey, etc. In these tomographies, a detector rotates in space to collect primary radiation emitted or transmitted by an object under investigation. In this case...
