Scattering of a spinning dielectric sphere to polarized plane waves

The exact expression of the wave vector inside a spinning homogeneous dielectric sphere illuminated by polarized plane waves is derived utilizing the “instantaneous rest-frame” hypothesis and Minkowski’s theory. On this basis, the analytical expressions of the electromagnetic field in the rotation sphere system are attained. The asymmetry of the system is discussed, in which the cause is emphasized. The influence of the polarization states and rotation angular velocity on the scattering are analyzed, including the optical rotation effect and photonic hook (PH). The results of this manuscript have extensive application prospects in optical tweezers, particle manipulation, and antenna design.
