Directional Scattering Cancellation for an Electrically Large Dielectric Sphere
arXiv:1811.02831 · doi:10.1364/OL.44.001972
Abstract
We demonstrate the directional scattering cancellation for a dielectric sphere of radius up to ten times the incident wavelength, by coating it with a surface of finite conductivity. Specifically, the problem of determining the values of the surface conductivity that guarantees destructive interference among hundreds of multipolar scattering orders at the prescribed angular direction is reduced to the determination of the zeros of a polynomial, whose coefficients are analytically known.
