Pays considerable attention to various aspects of light absorption inside particles, including internal field distributions, MDR resonances, and absorption in restricted regions inside particles. It contains many results (and more than 100 figures) computed for polydisperse particle systems and algorithms and provides the possibility to use them (web site).

Modelling concepts in aerosol optics; coordinate and momentum representations in the theory of light scattering by disperse media; internal intensity distributions and integral absorption characteristics; light scattering and absorption by two- and multilayered spheres; light scattering by water-containing atmospheric aerosol particles; light scattering by radially inhomogeneous particles; light scattering by weakly inhomogeneous and weakly anisotropic particles; some practical aspects of light scattering by inhomogeneous and anisotropic particles; Appendix: special functions (Bessel functions, Legendre functions, vector spherical functions, Wigner D functions); library of computer codes on light scattering (editors'' web site); light scattering codes on the Internet.
