Near-field evanescent waves scattered from a spatially deterministic and anisotropic medium

Abstract

The scattering of light from an anisotropic medium, which may present either spatially random or deterministic statistics, has attracted substantial interest where the measurement of structural properties of scatterers is concerned. To date, however, no literature has studied near-zone evanescent waves scattered from a spatially deterministic and anisotropic medium. In this Letter, integral expressions are derived to represent electric fields of evanescent waves in the near-zone scattered field. In addition, the dependences of spectral densities of scattered field on the propagation distance of evanescent waves and effective radius of the scattering potential (ERSP) are also shown by numerical graphs, respectively. Potential applications of our study include the near-field optical microscopy and biomedical sensing.
