文摘With the recursive relations of Bessel function and applying inductive approach, the consistency between the scattering coefficient formula of Debye series and that of the generalized Lorentz-Mie theory (GLMT) in the scattering of a multilayer cylinder illuminated by a laser beam is proved in detail. As an application example, rainbow phenomenon in the scattering of a two-layer cylinder is discussed by the Debye series components. It can be concluded that the radius and the refractive index of a two-layer cylinder have an effect on the twin-primary rainbow, and the high-order Debye series components which are associated with the high-order rainbows are more complex than those of a homogeneous cylinder.
