Abstract

The scattered intensity angle distribution is studied for electromagnetic waves incident on a slightly rough dielectric surface. New results valid when there is no real absorption on the interface are obtained. It is shown that the shape of the peak near the retroreflection direction exhibits a strong dependence on the geometry of the surface. The angular correlation function of the amplitudes of two waves with different incident angles is calculated. The possibility to use the “memory effect” for the determination of the degree of homogeneity of a random surface is discussed.
