Anomalous absorption of light by a microscopic particle
The absorption of light by a microscopic particle near an atom which has an optical transition frequency at resonance with the frequency of the light is analyzed. It is predicted that the energy absorption by the microscopic particle should be increased significantly. The magnitude of the effect depends on the distance between the microscopic particle and the atom and on the temporal conditions of the illumination.
