    Abstract

    The scattered field and differential scattered section (DSS) of a moving spherical particle with a high speed are investigated numerically. The coordinate and vector transformations are used to establish a theoretical basis for studying the laser scattering of a moving particle. The DSS of a moving spherical particle is explained by the electric and magnetic field from Mie scattering theory. Assuming the laser wavelength of 1.06 microns, we compute the ratio of the laser DSS of the moving dielectric spherical particle to that of the static dielectric spherical particle, which changes with radii, speeds and scattering angles of the particle. The numerical results show that the laser DSS of the moving spherical particle is tightly connected with its speed and scattering zenith angle. If a spherical particle moves with high speed, the laser DSS due to movement of the particle could not be neglected. If the speed of the dielectric spherical particle is fluctuating, the Doppler effect and the frequency spectrum expansion play important roles.
