Light Scattering from Randomly Rough Surfaces

AA Maradudin a, ER méndez b
PMCID: PMC10361163  PMID: 18183733

Abstract

A survey is given of a variety of effects that can arise in the scattering of electromagnetic waves from one- and two-dimensional randomly rough surfaces. The focus is primarily on multiple-scattering effects such as enhanced backscattering, enhanced transmission, satellite peaks, new features in speckle correlations and in second harmonic generation in reflection. Theoretical treatments of these phenomena are outlined, and experimental results illustrating them are presented.

Keywords: surface roughness, scattering, conical scattering, enhanced backscattering, enhanced transmission, speckle correlations, spectral redistribution, satellite peaks, second harmonic generation
