Coordinate system for a single ray interacting with a particle. (a) A single rays from a Gaussian laser beams hits on the surface of a particle. The locations of the laser beam and particle can be random. The incident plane is defined by the ray and the normal direction of the particle at the hitting point and is indicated by the gray area; (b) the single ray undergoes multiple reflections and refractions on the boundary of the particle.
