Abstract

We study light scattering by surface roughness assisted by excitation of guided modes in dielectric layers. The same roughness might result in a very different scattering efficiency depending on whether and how the guided modes participate in scattering. Enhanced scattering to modes with a different modal number and to modes propagating backward is predicted and observed.
