From: Enhanced Forward Scattering of Ellipsoidal Dielectric Nanoparticles
The total scattering efficiency with corresponding multipole contributions of prolate ellipsoid nanoparticles for different aspect ratio a/b, ranging from 1 to 4.2. Q a1 (ED) and Q b1 (MD) represent the electric and magnetic dipole responses, respectively. Q a2 (EQ) and Q b2 (MQ) represent the electric and magnetic quadrupole responses, respectively. Q a3 and Q b3 represent the electric and magnetic octupole responses, respectively. The arrows show the locations of corresponding multipole contributions
