Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced backscattering of light from a random grating
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Green's second integral theorem to obtain exact expressions for the scattered electromagnetic field produced by a p- or s-polarized beam of finite width incident from the vacuum side onto a random grating whose grooves are perpendicular to the plane of incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localization effects in the scattering of light from a randomly rough grating
TL;DR: This localization of surface polaritons due to the surface roughness is found to contribute a maximum to the angular dependence of the intensity of the nonspecularly reflected light in the antispecular direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some aspects of light scattering from a randomly rough metal surface
TL;DR: In this article, a theory of the resonant nonspecular scattering of light from a randomly rough metal surface is fitted to experimental data in a way that permits the extraction of the two-dimensional Fourier transform g(k∥) of the correlation function of the surface profile function from the experimental results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anderson localization in one-dimensional randomly disordered optical systems that are periodic on average.
TL;DR: A layered system of dielectric slabs with electromagnetic waves propagating perpendicular to the interfaces is considered and the localization length for frequencies of these waves in and around the neighborhood of the band gaps in the photonic band structure of the average periodic system is computed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photonic band structures of two- and three-dimensional periodic metal or semiconductor arrays.
TL;DR: The plane-wave method is found to be most effective for structures with filling fractions f≤0.1% but provides a semiquantitative description of the band structures of these systems for f>0.
