6. Miscellaneous applications
Although the generalized Lorenz-Mie theories (for the sphere and the infinite cylinder) are of recent origin, many applications have emerged, and it is to be expected that many more, some unexpected, will follow. These theories are useful whenever a phenomenon involves interaction between a laser beam and a suitable particle, when the characteristic dimension d of the particle (diameter of the sphere, diameter of the cross-section of an infinite cylinder) is not small compared with the transverse dimension w of the beam.
An approximate criterion for the use of generalized theories is given by the inequality :

Many conferences are dedicated to optical measurement techniques, in particular laser velocimetry. The proceedings invariably include papers dedicated to light scattering, in particular the phase-Doppler technique. The most famous of these is probably "The International Symposium on Applications of Laser Techniques to Fluid Mechanics", held biannually in Lisbon since 1982.

Manufacturers
Many researchers build their own laser-Doppler velocimeters or phase-Doppler granulometers, for reasons of economy and/or to exercise greater control over the instrumentation, or even to adapt it to specific conditions
