A review of some earlier exact analytic solutions of monochromatic stationary vector radiative transfer equation in homogeneous infinite medium is given. It is stressed that Green's functions for plane-parallel, spherical and cylindrical symmetry are expressed through derivatives and integrals from basically one and the same set of functions.
