Abstract
A geometrical optics approximation was used for calculations of inelastic (Raman and fluorescent) scattering on particles with large size parameters. The inelastic part of the radiation was obtained by use of the principle of ray reversibility. The technique presented simplifies the computations and provides a geometric interpretation of how far-field patterns can be calculated by use of the internal field distributions. The numerical results for homogeneous spherical particles are compared with the classic dipole solution.
