Optical Interactions at Rough Surfaces

Abstract

The research carried out with support from Army Research Office Grant DAAH04-96-1-0187 was devoted to several areas of the scattering of light from, and its transmission through, randomly rough surfaces. These include changes in the spectrum of light due to its scattering front a randomly rough surface; the design of random surfaces that scatter light uniformly within a specified range of scattering angles, and produce no scattering outside this range; multiple-scattering effects in the second harmonic generation of light scattered from a random metal surface; the coexistence of ballistic wave propagation, diffusive wave transport, and wave localization in random waveguides; calculations of the elements of the Stokes matrix in conical scattering; the scattering of surface electromagnetic waves by surface defects; and new features in the angular intensity correlation functions of light scattered front random media.
