Scattering of an inhomogeneous wave impinging on parallel stratified cylinders

The interplay between an inhomogeneous plane wave and unlimited parallel stratified cylinders is presented. A meticulous theoretical approach is employed to show the relative electromagnetic interaction. The generalized Vector Cylinder Harmonics (VCH) expansion application is used for investigating the electromagnetic scattering by a series of stratified cylinders. he commonly named complex-angle formalism is used in the exact mathematical model to depict the current scenario. This approach allows the obtaining of the superposition of the VCH and the Foldy-Lax Multiple Scattering Equations (FLMSE) for considering the effect of multi-scattering between the stratified cylinders.
