We developed a model for light scattering from a metallic cylinder with structures. This model analyzes diffraction patterns influenced by defect size, beam properties, and surface characteristics.

Area of Science:

  • Optics and Photonics
  • Electromagnetism
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Understanding light scattering from structured surfaces is crucial in optics.
  • Metallic cylinders with longitudinal structures present complex scattering phenomena.
  • Gaussian beam illumination and oblique incidence add further complexity to light-matter interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a computational model for light scattering from a metallic cylinder with longitudinal structures.
  • To analyze the influence of surface defects and geometrical parameters on the diffraction pattern.
  • To investigate the effects of Gaussian beam properties and surface optical characteristics on scattering.

Main Methods:

  • An approximate solution to the Helmholtz-Kirchhoff integral was employed.
