Identification of Abnormal Blood Cells Using Scattering of a Focused Laser Beam by a Cluster

摘要

The scattering by a shain cluster consists of normal and abnormal blood cells illuminated with a focused Gaussian beam is studied analytically and numerically. The cluster T-matrix method is modified to combine the plane wave spectrum method to model the incident beam. It is shown that the angular scattering intensity distributions of a cluster of normal cells get more deviations as the number of the abnormal cells increases in the cluster. The illustrated numerical results are important in several branches of science and industry, such as nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, biology and moreover to improve the properties of polymers.
