Abstract
A comparison between two models of light scattering on an infinite, nonabsorbing cylinder modeling a fiber in a composite material is presented. In the first model the incident light is modeled by a monochromatic plane wave, in the second by a monochromatic wave with a Gaussian distribution of intensity over the cross section. The results of numerical simulations for the two cases are presented.Keywords
