Abstract

Using a plane-polarized laser of wavelength λ=543.5 or 441.6nm and spider silk, we investigated the diffraction of a transparent cylinder of diameter Dλλ5 at normal incidence. The measured pattern corresponded well to the one calculated by a rigorous solution of the theory for the problem. The birefringent index and D of the sample could be determined simultaneously. The experimental data of the scattering cross section for D<λ4 suggested that the data approached dipole radiation.
