The classic solution for homogeneous sphere was suggested in 1899 by A.E.N. Love [ 330 ], in 1908 by G. Mie [ 342 ] and in 1909 by P. Debye [ 199 ]. ... Traditionally the theory of light scattering by a sphere is called the Mie theory. ... The exact solutions of the Mie problem for an optically active sphere (i.e. a sphere of optically active material [ 7 ]) and for a sphere with an optically active mantle were first obtained in 1974-5 by S. Bohren [ 158 , 159 ]. ...
