Abstract
We report rigorous numerical calculations of the near field scattered from rough, one-dimensional self-affine fractal silver surfaces. We show that fr actal lower-scale cutoff (decreased to the order of tens of nanometers) has a strong effect on excitation and strength of localized optical modes, lea ding to very large enhancements of the intensity (larger than 10(4)) and fl uctuations of the electric field.
