Abstract

We derive simple analytic expressions relating Mie scattering with partially coherent fields to scattering with fully coherent fields. These equations are then used to demonstrate how the intensity of the forward- or the backward-scattered field can be suppressed several orders of magnitude by tuning the spatial coherence properties of the incident field.
