Abstract
This paper is a contribution to the study of the diffraction of an ele ctromagnetic plane wave by a cylindrical rod of arbitrary cross-sectio n and optical index. The incident wave vector is not necessarily perpe ndicular to the rod. This vectorial diffraction problem is solved usin g the method of fictitious sources which has proven to be effective fo r scalar problems. Theoretical and numerical aspects are both studied.
