The theory for scattering of electromagnetic waves is developed for scattering objects for which the natural modes of the field inside the object do not couple one-to-one with those outside the scatterer. Key feature of the calculation of the scattered fields is the introduction of a new set of modes. As an example, we calculate the reflected and transmitted fields generated by an electromagnetic plane wave that impinges upon a multilayer slab of which the layers are stacked perpendicular to the boundary planes. As this is the geometry of a thick plate with slits our theory encompasses the exact scattering theory of electromagnetic waves by a thick plate with slits.
Key words: exact scattering theory / non separable geometries / thick holes
