This review is intended to provide a critical and up-to-date survey of the analytical
approximate methods that are encountered in scattering from random rough surfaces. The …

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 …

Exposure of metal surfaces to multiple ultrashort laser pulses under certain conditions leads
to the formation of well-defined periodic surface structures. We show how the period of such …

Die optische Meßtechnik ist ein Forschungs-und Lehrgebiet mit zunehmend breitem
Anwendungsbereich. Die Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Lasertechnik, der Optoelektronik …

We have investigated the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS or
“ripples”) on silicon upon excitation with p-polarized excimer laser pulses in the deep …

Interfacial roughness is prevalent in 1D photonic crystals and other layered structures, but is
not generally accounted for in their design nor the analysis of their optical properties due to …

Approximate analytic expressions for haze (and gloss) of Gaussian randomly rough surfaces
for various types of correlation functions are derived within phase-perturbation theory. The …

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 …

A new method for scattering from fractally corrugated conducting surfaces is formulated with
use of the extended boundary condition method. Here we expand the fields through …

We study the reflection of diffuse light from 1D randomly rough dielectric interfaces. Results
for the reflectance under diffuse illumination are obtained by rigorous numerical simulations …
