Reflection at a Rough Surface
Abstract
When designing optical elements or components due to deviations introduced by fabrication processes, the function of the final elements may differ from the idealized model. For the modeling of a real surface with a specific roughness in this example a customized surface is used. In addition, the scattering effect introduced by the unevenness of the surface is investigated.
