Design of one-dimensional random surfaces with specified scattering properties

We propose a method for designing a one-dimensional random perfectly conducting surface which, when illuminated by a plane wave, scatters it with a prescribed angular distribution of intensity. The method is applied to the design of a surface that scatters light uniformly within a specified range of...

Description
Summary:We propose a method for designing a one-dimensional random perfectly conducting surface which, when illuminated by a plane wave, scatters it with a prescribed angular distribution of intensity. The method is applied to the design of a surface that scatters light uniformly within a specified range of scattering angles, and produces no scattering outside this range. It is tested by computer simulations, and a procedure for fabricating such surfaces on photoresist is described.
