Abstract
A method is provided for calculating the scattering of Gaussian beam incident obliquely on a spheroidal particle with a conducting spherical inclusion within the framework of the generalized Lorenz-Mie theory (GLMT). By virtue of a transformation between the spheroidal and spherical vector wave functions, a theoretical procedure is developed to deal with the boundary conditions. Numerical results of the normalized differential scattering cross section are presented, and the scattering characteristics are discussed concisely.
