Light scattering by dielectric bodies in the Born approximation
Abstract
Light scattering is one of the most important elementary processes in near-field optics. We build up the Born series for scattering by dielectric bodies with step boundaries. The Green function for a 2-dimensional homogeneous dielectric cylinder is obtained. As an example, the formulas are derived for scattered field of two parallel cylinders. The polar diagram is shown to agree with numerical calculation by the known methods of discrete dipoles and boundary elements.
