Abstract
The transmission of coherent laser light through the semiconductor CuCl is studied and consideration of the backward-propagating wave's contribution, produced by the mismatch of the boundary dielectric constants, is included in the treatment. The interference of the backward wave with the forward wave, the \'etalon effects, is absent from experimental data. We explain this discrepancy by assuming rough surfaces and treating an ensemble average of CuCl samples of different length. We conclude that surface roughness is an important experimental factor and that it may lead to an apparent attenuation which would be interpreted as an increase in the damping constants, especially for long samples.
