Abstract
When a laser beam scatters from a microparticle whose shape deviates from t hat of a sphere, a number of partial waves of the incident beam couple to a given partial wave of the scattered and interior fields. As a result, part ial-wave coupling caused by small surface irregularities of a liquid drople t provides the mechanism for exciting low-radial-order morphology-dependent resonances.
