As before, we focus on extraordinary waves (TM
modes, with the magnetic field along the axis of the cylinder).

The above results were obtained by numerically propagating fields
through the cylindrical layered structure. There exists, however,
an analytic approach to analyzing light propagation in the
thickness of layers $\lambda/100$, $N=600$ layers, and impact
parameter $\rho=2.4\lambda$ at an operating wavelength of 700~nm.
