Propagation of electromagnetic waves through a system of randomly placed cylinders: the partial scattering wave resonance

Abstract

Propagation of electromagnetic waves through a system of randomly placed cylinders has been modelled. It was found that there is a dip in the ballistic transmission spectra for both the E and H polarizations, which is associated with scattering of the partial wave with angular momentum equal to zero by a single cylinder.

Photonic and phononic quasicrystals

“…For diluted systems the formation of narrow gaps at the resonance frequencies of the scatterers can be expected. More densely packed systems with smaller inter-scatterer distances should respond strongly to the lack of order and localization of waves can be expected to gradually cover the band gaps (see Rockstuhl et al (2006), Kaliteevski et al (2006aKaliteevski et al ( ), (2006b). In ordered systems, in contrast, stronger coupling rather leads to more distinct band gaps.…”

Terahertz scattering by subwavelength cylindrical arrays

“…Most scattering studies in the THz frequency range have been conducted on samples with dimensions that are either at the same order as the THz wavelengths or at subwavelength values. Two popular materials reported in existing literature are powders of different dimensions [2][3][4][5] and fibers from clothing [6][7][8]. Other materials used in THz scattering studies include cork enclosures [9], pork-fat and onion cells [10], wood and paper [11], polymers [12], fiberglass cloth [13,14], and hollow fiber with a film of absorptive dielectric inner-coating [15].…”
