By E. Wolf (ed.)

Growth in Optics is a well-established sequence of volumes of assessment articles facing theoretical and utilized optics and similar matters. broadly acclaimed through quite a few reviewers as representing an authoritative and updated resource of data in all branches of optics, the sequence keeps to fulfil a real desire in the medical neighborhood. Articles are contributed by way of best scientists (including Nobel Prize winners) selected through the Editor, with the recommendation of a world panel of specialists constituting the Editorial Advisory Board. some of the articles showing in those volumes have on the grounds that been validated as uncomplicated references of their respective fields.

They are, on the surface, -+ G = N =O ZN +C = 0 0 Dirichlet, Neumann, Impedance, whose electromagnetic analogues are, respectively,TE polarization, TM polarization, and the Leontovitch type impedance condition (BREKHOVSKIKH [ 19601). Formally, eqs. 17) define an exact solution to the general scalar interface problem. Once the surface values G and N are determined, the field values can be determined from eqs. 6). MITZNER[ 1966a1, for example, treated the case of media of greatly different densities and solved the equations in an approximate perturbation series.

The latter is solved term by term in perturbation theory of powers of the height h for the source function J The method is thus limited in application to small values of the Rayleigh roughness parameter, and thus inadequately describes the scattering from strongly rough surfaces (Z>1). It is also possible to derive the above results using the Helmholtz integral theorem (BORN and WOLF [ 19801) for plane wave incidence. 9) fixes the source function f as the normal derivative of the field on the surface (scaled by S).

Also note that if the surface height is a random variable, then eq. 14) is a stochastic equation for the scattered field. In principle, we can compute for this equation the ensemble average of any power of r once we know the ensemble average of any power of the surface interaction A. This illustrates the generality of the integral equation approach, and the direct relation between the statistics of the surface and those of the field moments. A further generality is provided by the fact that an integral equation similar to eq.
