Simple expressions for scattering by a chiral elliptic cylinder of small cross-sectional dimensions

J Opt Soc Am A. 1991 Sep;8(9):1421-4. doi: 10.1364/josaa.8.001421.

Abstract

An integral-equation method is used to derive simple expressions for the field scattered by infinitely long chiral cylinders of elliptic cross sections; the derived expressions are applicable when the cross-sectional dimensions are electrically small. Reductions for the scattering of plane waves are obtained. The derived results can be extended to thin strips.
