Abstract
The theory of interaction between a shaped beam and an infinite cylind er arbitrarily located in it is presented. The same approach as for th e generalized Lorenz-Mie theory is first used. In particular, variable separability is assumed in solving the wave equation. The special cas e of Gaussian beams, however, implies that, unexpectedly, a special cl ass of non-separable scalar potentials is required for some kinds of b eams.
