Popis: The classical modal expansion for the scattered field of a plane wave from a circular dielectric cylinder is studied. A new uniform asymptotic approximation is presented for the late coefficients in this expansion, in the case of a fixed relative dielectric constant εr, both real and complex. These new approximations for the mode values are not based on the scattering matrix but rather the classical WKBJ approximations for the Bessel functions, and are valid for the entire region exterior to the cylinder, including the transition region. Furthermore, a precise asymptotic form for the location of a certain critical Regge pole is obtained. It is shown that this pole can lead to at least one dramatic resonant modal term at certain critical values, and the exponential nature of the mode in question is determined explicitly. This is followed by an extension to complex values of εrwith new uniform asymptotic approximations for the modes also being obtained, and these in turn demonstrate a heavy damping of the resonant mode.
