Abstract
The scattering of electromagnetic waves by infinitely extended cylinders with non-circular cross-sections is investigated. Oblique incidence for both transverse magnetic and transverse electric cases are considered. For the analysis, the Discretized Mie-Formalism is extended to cylindrical co-ordinate systems with periodic boundary conditions. Limiting cases for circular cross-sections and perpendicular incidence are discussed. To test the present algorithm and the convergence of the computer program, the off-centered circular dielectric cylinder is an ideal example. It is shown that, this method provides a conceptual easy and general approach for a wide variety of non circular cross-sections.
