Abstract
Electromagnetic theories provide a tool to detect the origin of scatte ring in optical multilayers. Illumination and observation conditions t hat cause surface and bulk scatterings to have different behaviors are pointed out. Angular, wavelength, and polarization dependences are in vestigated for the location of structural irregularities at interfaces or in the bulk of a multilayer. Specific experiments can be designed.
