Numerical methods are of great importance in the study of electromagnetic scattering from
random rough surfaces. This review provides an overview of rough surface scattering and …

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 …

Based on more than 30 years of research on differential theories of gratings, this book
describes developments in differential theory for applications in spectroscopy, acoustics, X …

We have developed a new formulation of the coupled-wave method (CWM) to handle
aperiodic lamellar structures, and it will be referred to as the aperiodic coupled-wave …

Accurate angular phase data are extracted from angle-resolved scattering measurements
made with polarized light using a technique developed in the laboratory. This Ellipsometry of …

The 2-dimensional density of states of an electron is studied for a poissonian random
distribution of point vortices carrying α flux in units of the quantum of flux. It is shown that, for …

The intensity scattered by particles randomly placed beneath a rough interface is studied
with rigorous simulations. It is shown that the angular intensity pattern is close to that …

Since the first demonstration of a complete photonic band gap by E. Yablonovitch in 1987
[1], photonic band gap materials have attracted a very significant interest in …

We study light scattering by systems combining randomly rough surface and volume
dielectric fluctuations. We introduce a general model including correlations between surface …

Angle-resolved ellipsometry of light scattering is an original technique developed at the
Fresnel Institute to identify scattering processes in substrates and multilayers. We extend the …
