A New Paradigm in Chaotic Ray Scattering

Chaotic Dynamics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We introduce a new paradigm of 2D (electromagnetic) ray-chaos, featuring both guided and scattered rays in a dielectric layer with exponentially tapered refraction index backed by an undulated conductive surface, and illustrate its relevant features. Numerical simulations of the corresponding full-wave solution indicate that the system complies with Berry's conjecture in the asymptotic short wavelength limit.
