Abstract:The scattering of a normally incident monochromatic light by optically active concentric double cylinders is studied by using a numerical method. A numerical code is developed on the basis of the analytical solutions, and the angular distributions of the intensity and the polarization of the scattered light are computed for some specific cases. The numerical code can be used to non-invasively determine the size, structure, and composition of a double cylinder with high accuracy by measuring the angular distrib… Show more
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.
