Abstract
The angular positions of the light-scattering minima obtained from structur es placed on flat substrates are closely related to the geometry of the sca ttering object. We show how the profile of a fiber can be determined, and p ossible irregularities located, by measurement of the backscattering patter ns. An approximate double-interaction model is used to fit the results. (C) 2000 Optical Society of America.
