We study light scattering from a thin film with one-dimensional roughn
ess of the interfaces using the Rayleigh method. The three layers are
characterized by their dielectric constants and magnetic permeabilitie
s. A plane wave of either TE or TM polarization is incident at one of
the interfaces. We present perturbational results for sinusoidal and s
awtooth profiles. We compare our calculations with a non-perturbationa
l study and experimental data.
