title: Internal, near-surface, and scattered electromagnetic fields for a layered spheroid with arbitrary illumination.
abstract: A spheroidal coordinate separation-of-variables solution has been developed for the determination of internal, near-surface, and scattered electromagnetic fields of a layered spheroid (either prolate or oblate) with arbitrary monochromatic illumination (e.g., plane wave or focused Gaussian beam). Calculated results are presented for layered 2:1 axis ratio prolate and oblate spheroids with an equivalent sphere size parameter of 20.
