Abstract
The diffraction of a short pulse by a one-dimensional metallic rough s urface is investigated with the help of a rigorous integral theory. It is numerically shown that the asymptotic behavior of the diffracted f ield can be exactly deduced from a knowledge of the strongly excited m odes. In addition, this study suggests an experimental means to isolat e the spatial structure of a localized mode, taking advantage of the d ifferent lifetimes of the various modes.
