A numerical simulation of functions of the angular distribution of the scattering intensity for dimers and thrimers of finite dielectric cylinders is made using the formalism of the volume integral equation. The function of the angular distribution of the scattering intensity dependence on the optical and geometric parameters of single finite cylinders and their mutual location is studied. It is shown that the electrodynamic interaction between the cylinders leads to a strong change of the angular distribution of intensity of the radiation scattered by this system in comparison with that for two cylinders without electrodynamic coupling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
