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 …

The current status of research on coherent phenomena in multiple light scattering from
disordered systems is reviewed. The coherent light backscattering, temporal and spatial …

A theory of scattering by a finite number of cylinders of arbitrary cross section is presented.
This theory is based on a self-consistent approach that identifies incident and scattered …

By the use of Green's second integral theorem we have obtained exact expressions for the
scattered electromagnetic field produced by a p-or s-polarized beam of finite width incident …

A theoretical and numerical study is made of the scattering of light and other electromagnetic
waves from rough surfaces separating vacuum from a dielectric. The extinction theorem …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes enhanced backscattering in optics. The chapter
considers backscatter enhancement in light scattered from a body embedded in a random …

The geometric optics approximation for radiative scattering from rough surfaces is compared
with exact scattering predictions from electromagnetic theory. Rigorous electromagnetic …

Using a generalization of the integral theory of metallic and dielectric gratings developed in
our laboratory 15 years ago, we propose a rigorous integral theory of scattering by metallic …

A perturbative expression up to fourth order in k_0σ (k_0= 2π/λ; σ being the rms of the
surface height and λ the wavelength) has been obtained for the mean diffuse intensity from a …

An experimental study of backscatter enhancement from rough surfaces is presented. The
Stokes parameters of the average scattered light from two-dimensional rough surfaces show …
