Equations are derived to describe scattering and absorption of light by a normally illuminated monolayer of identical spherical particles in a homogeneous light-absorbing medium (matrix). They are based on the quasi-crystalline approximation, mean-field approximation, and multipole expansion of fields and tensor Green’s function in terms of vector spherical wave functions. Results of numerical analysis of the coefficients of coherent transmission and reflection, incoherent scattering, and absorption of composite systems [a monolayer of gold (Au) nanoparticles in fullerene (C60) matrix and a monolayer of silver (Ag) nanoparticles in copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) matrix] in the visible spectrum at different particle concentrations and sizes are presented. The dependences of the wavelength of the plasmon resonance absorption maximum on the filling factor of the partially ordered monolayer calculated with (in the quasi-crystalline approximation) and without (in the interference approximation) considering multiple scattering of waves are compared. The calculation results are in qualitative agreement with known experimental data on the red shift of the resonance with increasing monolayer filling factor. The derived equations can be used in solving problems of thin-fi lm optics and developing photonic and optoelectronic devices containing absorbing matrices.
