<title>Polarization changes in coherent electromagnetic radiation scattering by the rough surface</title>

Abstract

In this work we have done theoretical investigations ofpolarization properties of the wave scattered by the rough surface in the scalar diffraction theory approach. The model of single scattering on the surface with smooth inhomogeneities has been used and the local values of Fresnel reflecting coefficients have been taken into account. By use of numerical calculation of diffraction integral in this approximation we have found the components of correlation matrix of scattered wave as the functions of statistical properties of rough surface and incident light beam parameters. The degree of polarization of scattered wave and polarization plane rotation have been calculated. The last effect can be usethl for structural determination of anisotropic rough surfaces iuhomogeneities.

Propagation of Coherent Light Throught Optically Inhomogeneous Media

“…Description of such propagation we could consider using of Maxwell formalism as a detailed analyze of an electromagnetic waves scattering under every fluctuation [1]. This problem takes on special significance for multiple scattering because of corresponding coefficients of stochastic equations are random field.…”
