Eikonal Approximation For Electromagnetic Wave Scattering By A Cladded Optical Fiber

Abstract
An exact optical theorem for the scattering of TM waves by optical fibers is established. For optical wavelengths, the interpretation of the scattering in eikonal approximation as a diffraction phenomenon is explored. Some numerical estimates for a cladded optical fiber with quartic dielectric permeability profile are presented.© (1980) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
