TLDR
Computational results demonstrate that an absorbing medium significantly affects the scattering of light by a sphere and derives absorption and scattering efficiencies by using the near field at the surface of the particle.Abstract:
Analytic equations are developed for the single-scattering properties of a spherical particle embedded in an absorbing medium, which include absorption, scattering, extinction efficiencies, the scattering phase function, and the asymmetry factor. We derive absorption and scattering efficiencies by using the near field at the surface of the particle, which avoids difficulty in obtaining the extinction based on the optical theorem when the far field is used. Computational results demonstrate that an absorbing medium significantly affects the scattering of light by a sphere.read more

Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles
TL;DR: In this paper, a Potpourri of Particles is used to describe surface modes in small Particles and the Angular Dependence of Scattering is shown to be a function of the size of the particles.

Light scattering by small particles in an absorbing medium.
TL;DR: Extinction for the scattering by small particles embedded in an absorbing medium is defined and a generalized form of an optical theorem is derived in this article, where the extinction is related to both the forward and the backward scattering amplitude.

Mie scattering by spheres in an absorbing medium.
TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction efficiency of Mie scattering by spheres, bubbles, or voids embedded in an absorbing medium has been analyzed, and it is shown that under certain conditions the extinction-efficiency factor can be less than the scattering efficiency factor.
