Abstract

The transmission of p-polarized light through a thin, free-standing metal film was studied by means of perturbation theory and computer simulation. The illuminated surface is a one-dimensional, randomly rough surface; the back surface is planar. The plane of incidence is perpendicular to the generators of the rough surface. The film is sufficiently thin that the two surface plasmon polaritons it supports in the absence of roughness have distinct wave numbers.
