"clouds of various shapes and hazy fog are the results of Mie scattering, which is what happens with light interacts with particles of a certain size... intentionally misalign incident laser on nanometer scale from target's center... misalignment of only 100 nm induces maximized Mie resonant scattering previously obscured because conventional microscopy uses plane wave light illumination... all-optical transistors, low-power surveillance, cloaking devices"
