Abstract:
The problem of diffraction of a plane electromagnetic wave is considered for a two-dimensional (cylindrical) object with absorption that is comparable in size to the wavelength. To get an approximate solution of this problem, a hybrid Galerkin finite and boundary element method is developed. The relative-error dependency of the hybrid method is studied as illustrated by diffraction modeling at dielectric and conducting cylinders.

Key words:
cylindrical micro-optics,  Galerkin finite element method.
