Light extinction by two finite parallel dielectric cylinders

Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

The VIEF (volume integral equation formulation) method is used to calculate the distribution of fields in two parallel dielectric cylinders and to determine the scattering characteristics of one particle in the presence of another. The numerical calculations performed have revealed that the curve of the extinction efficiency of one cylinder in the presence of another versus the distance between the cylinders axes behaves like damped oscillations. An analysis is made of the influence of the size and shape of the particles and their relative refractive index as well as of the state of incident radiation polarization on the limiting—for manifestation of optical integration of particles—distance leff.
