Generalized Lorenz-Mie theory for cylinders is a new tool in light scattering theory. It describes the interaction between an infinite cylinder and an illuminating arbitrary shaped beam. In the present paper the applicability of this theory to the evaluation of phase-Doppler instruments for cylindrical particle characterization is demonstrated, exemplifying the particular case when the cylinder is perpendicular to the impinging laser beams.
