Researchers routinely characterize optical samples by computing thescattering cross-section. However, the experimental determination of thismagnitude requires the measurement and integration of the components of thescattered field in all directions. Here, we propose a method to determine thescattering cross-section and global polarization state of radiation throughmeasurements of two Stokes parameters at an angle of choice in far-field. Themethod applies to cylindrically symmetric samples whose optical response iswell-described by a single multipolar order j. Moreover, the formalism isapplicable for a wide range of different illuminations, and it only requiresthe use of a single camera and conventional wave plates. Our findingssignificantly reduce the complexity of routine characterization measurementsfor cylindrical samples in optical laboratories.
