F. Borghese et al., RESONANCE SUPPRESSION IN THE EXTINCTION SPECTRUM OF SINGLE AND AGGREGATED HEMISPHERES ON A REFLECTING SURFACE, Applied optics, 36(18), 1997, pp. 4226-4234
The extinction spectrum from single and aggregated hemispheres whose f
lat faces lie on a reflecting surface is calculated, and some of the e
xpected resonances are found to disappear for specific choices of the
direction and the polarization of the incident wave. This resonance-su
ppressing effect is fully explained for the case of single hemispheres
, whereas for the case of aggregated hemispheres the guidelines for it
s explanation are given. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
