Optical role of randomness for structured surfaces

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It has long been known that random height variations of a repeated nanoscale structure can give rise to smooth angular color variations instead of the well-known diffraction pattern experienced if no randomization is present. However, until now there have been few publications trying to explain this and similar phenomena taking outset in electromagnetic theory. This paper presents a method for analyzing far-field reflection from a surface constructed by translated instances of a given structure. Several examples of the effect of random translations are given.
