Backscattering enhancement of an electromagnetic wave scattered by two-dimensional rough layers

Condensed Matter 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The problem of an electromagnetic wave scattering by a slab with two rough boundaries is solved by a small-perturbation method under the Rayleigh hypothesis. In order to obtain a perturbative development, we use a systematic procedure which involves integral equations called the reduced Rayleigh equations. Then we will show for a dielectric slab deposited on a silver film that the backscattering enhancement can be produced by guided waves which interact with the two rough surfaces.
