Abstract
The problem of diffraction of a plane electromagnetic wave by a metal fiber with a circular cross section is considered for the case in which the diameter of the fiber differs only slightly from the radiation wavelength. Relations between the positions of the first diffraction minima and the fiber diameter are derived. The formulas obtained are used to determine the diameter of an ultrathin fiber.
