We propose a theoretical study on the electromagnetic forces resulting fromthe superposition of a TE and TM plane waves interacting with a sphere.Specifically, we first show that, under such an illumination condition, thesphere is subjected to a force transverse to the propagation direction of thewaves. We then analyze the physical origin of this counter-intuitive behaviorusing a multipolar decomposition of the electromagnetic modes involved in thatscattering process. This analysis reveals that interference effects, due to thetwo-wave illumination, lead to a Kerker-like asymmetric scattering behaviorresulting in this peculiar transverse force.
