Monte Carlo Simulations of Random Rough Surface Scattering with Finite Element and Finite Difference Methods

Abstract

Monte Carlo simulations of scattering of waves by one-dimensional random rough gold surfaces at optical frequencies are investigated by the use of the finite--element method. Both TE and TM plane wave incidences are considered. Backscattering enhancements are observed for all the cases studied in this report. Random rough surface, Monte Carlo simulations, Backscattering enhancement, Finite-element method.
