Attenuation characteristics of Bessel Gaussian vortex beam by a wet dust particle

The potential applications of complex optical fields for environmental detection have attracted a lot of attention. In this study, dusty medium is equivalent to a uniformly charged sphere and a non-uniform concentric layered sphere that satisfying the single scattering condition, respectively. The interaction between a high-order polarized Bessel Gaussian beam and a spherical particle is investigated using the generalized Lorenz–Mie theory and the angular spectrum decomposition method. The location of incident beam is considered for the first time. The extinction efficiency results of a wet charged particle are compared with those of a wet neutral particle. Simulations show that the difference in extinction between these two kinds of particles mentioned above is more evident in the smaller size parameter range, which is similar to the case of plane wave incidence. In addition, the influence of complex refractive index and size proportion of heterogeneous medium on the extinction effect is analyzed. The characteristic parameters of the incident beam are considered and find out that how they affect the differences in extinction is independent of the illuminated particle. This study lays the foundation for analyzing the transmission capacity of a Bessel Gaussian vortex beam with various parameters in a dust particle cluster.
