Abstract
In the laser Doppler and phase Doppler techniques a part of the incident laser light is imaged by the particles onto the detectors. It is this scattered light which carries information about the particle velocity and its properties and thus, the light scattered from small particles plays a central role in the basic physics of these measurement techniques. In recognition of this, the following chapter is devoted to the fundamentals of elastic light scattering from small particles. The simplest case of a homogeneous and isotropic sphere is considered.
