Abstract

We study theoretically the transmission of p-polarized light through a thin metal film, one of whose surfaces is randomly rough. It is found that the angular distribution of the intensity of the diffuse component of the transmitted light has a narrow peak at an angle of transmission that corresponds to the antispecular direction. This peak is the analogue for transmission of the enhanced backscattering of p-polarized light from a randomly rough metal surface.
