Title

Polarized Light Scattering In Dielectric Layers With Rough Interfaces

Abstract

The polarization behavior of light backscattered from layers with random rough interfaces is investigated in a narrow beam geometry. A simple explanation is given for the appearance of four-fold symmetrical polarization patterns in the geometric-optics limit. Multiple scattering sequences are found to be the origin of the observed polarization behavior. Numerical ray-tracing experiments correctly predict the polarization patterns.
