Abstract

An approximate perturbative technique for the analysis of electromagnetic scattering from dielectric bodies of arbitrary shape containing dielectric inclusions, illuminated by an arbitrarily polarized incident plane wave, is investigated. The perturbative approach here presented allows for the efficient computation of the scattering properties of a given body as the inclusions vary, with a formulation solving only for the inclusion bound field component.
