Abstract

It is shown that backscattering of electromagnetic waves is possible in a periodically inhomogeneous medium by random inhomogeneities whose scale is greater than the wavelength. A small scattered field emerges in the case of appearance of the Bragg cavity when the periodic layer is a matching system for the incident wave. Scattering is effective even for inhomogeneities whose scale is much greater than the Fresnel radius of the inhomogeneous layer. The correlation radius of the scattered field can also be that large.
