If you're interested in the Lorenz-Mie scattering of coherent light by a single microparticle, a good starting point is

Bohren and Huffman, "Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles,"

(Wiley, New York, 1998).

This standard text also describes how to analyze multi-particle scattering in various approximations. If you're interested in temporal correlations, you might be interested in

Berne and Pecora, "Dynamic Light Scattering: with Applications to Chemistry, Biology and Physics," (Dover, Mineola, 2000).

This reference focuses on the single-scattering limit. For dense suspensions in which light scattering is dominated by multiple scattering, the relevant approach is called diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS). I am not aware of any good reference book on this subject. The relevant peer-reviewed literature starts with

Pine, Weitz, Chaikin and Herbolzheimer, "Diffusing wave spectroscopy," Physical Review Letters 60, 1134 (1988).

Hi David,

thanks for the references, well I am working on dynamic light scattering and time correlations of dynamic speckles from an evaporating droplet with inclusions in a Paul trap.I intend to use Lorenz- Mie scattering to study the initial stages of the evaporation process then proceed on studying the dynamics of the inclusions during evaporation with DLS and time correlations. I am not sure if DWS could be applicable because I am assuming that the scattering is purely based single scattering which will allow me to apply Mie theory in the first stages of the diffusion process.
