Fast, high-accuracy algorithms for electromagnetic scattering from axisymmetric objects are of great importance when modeling physical phenomena in optics, materials science (e.g. meta-materials), and many other fields of applied science.  In this talk, we develop an FFT-accelerated separation of variables solver that can be used to efficiently invert integral equation formulations of Maxwell’s equations for scattering from axisymmetric bodies. Using a standard variant of Müller's integral representation of the fields, our numerical solver rapidly and directly inverts the resulting second-kind integral equation. The solver is also extended to geometries with non-smooth generating curves and the scattering from large cavities.
