Abstract The scattering of a one-dimensional Airy beam light sheet by a multilayered sphere is presented within Mie theory and plane-wave spectrum method. Instead of traditional methods to calculate beam shaped coefficients applied in Gaussian beam and Bessel beam scattering, the scattering light field of one-dimensional Airy beam can be obtained by superposition of that of plane wave via plane-wave spectrum method, which greatly improves computational efficiency. Influences of different parameters on differential scattering cross-section in far-field scattering are investigated in detail, mainly including the parameters of multilayered spheres and Airy beams. This study can be of hope to understanding the interaction between Airy beams and spherical particles with layer structure.
