G. Guida et al., ENHANCED NORMAL SCATTERING BY LACUNARY GRATINGS, Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science,and vision., 14(2), 1997, pp. 430-436
An intuitive presentation and a numerical verification are given of a
phenomenon of enhanced normal scattering generated by lacunary grating
s that are made by parallel rods. It is shown that the phenomenon can
be explained by an interference between primary and multiscattered fie
lds scattered by the cylinders when the distance between two arbitrary
cylinders is a multiple of the wavelength. (C) 1997 Optical Society o
