Abstract

A semi-analytical solution is proposed to the electromagnetic scattering by an infinite chiral circular cylinder with arbitrary monochromatic illumination. The scattered and internal fields are expanded in terms of appropriate cylindrical vector wave functions, and their expansion coefficients are determined by virtue of the boundary conditions and the projection method. As a demonstration of the theoretical procedure, the normalized internal and near-surface field intensity distributions are evaluated for a fundamental Gaussian beam, and the scattering properties are discussed briefly for different chirality parameters
