Abstract
The general solution of the scattering and extinction of a plane electromagnetic wave by a tilted infinite cylinder is discussed. The scattering equations are extended to the general case with respect to the polarization of the incident light, and it is shown that the intensity curves presented previously in the literature for two polarizations (Case I, incident polarization is parallel to the incident plane, which is the plane containing the cylinder and the direction of the incident light, and Case II, incident polarization is normal to the incident plane), are not sufficient for the general case. Five relations among the scattering coefficients are presented.Keywords
