A surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is an electromagnetic excitation existing on the surface of
a good metal. It is an intrinsically two-dimensional excitation whose electromagnetic field …

First, the rough surface scattering problem is formulated from a statistical point of view. Then,
different numerical schemes that permit one to solve Maxwell equations without …

The fast multipole method fast Fourier transform (FMM-FFT) method is developed to
compute the scattering of an electromagnetic wave from a two-dimensional (2-D) rough …

In this paper we summarize a number of previous experiments on the measurement of the
roughness of metallic surfaces by light scattering. We identify several regimes that permit …

No surface is perfectly flat at every length scale. However, all natural and man-made
surfaces show some degree of roughness. Therefore, it is imperative to know how surface …

We present an experimental investigation of backscattering enhancement arising from the
excitation of polaritons on a metal surface with highly one-dimensional random roughness …

The small perturbation method has been extensively used for wave scattering by rough
surfaces. The standard method developed by Rice is difficult to apply when we consider …

We present a comprehensive analysis of factors influencing the morphology of the Doppler
spectrum obtained from a laser-feedback interferometer. We explore the effect of optical …

Using the unitarity and reciprocity preserving formulation of Brown et al a perturbation
treatment, correct to fourth order in the surface profile function, is given for the scattering of …

When an electromagnetic wave is incident on a bounded random system that supports two
or more discrete eigenmodes at the frequency of the incident wave, the angular distribution …
