Abstract

This paper presents an efficient computation method to evaluate scattered light intensity distributions, generated by a nanostructured surface which is illuminated with a monochromatic laser beam of several millimeters in diameter. The new simulation approach based on a modified Huygens-Fresnel approximation enables to improve measuring methods without expensive and time consuming experiments. The qualitative verification of the model results in a roughness measuring principle based on double scattering of coherent light.
