Introduction to Surface Roughness and Scattering

A monograph by Bennett (Naval Air Warfare Center, China Lake, Calif.) and Mattsson (industrial metrology, Institute of Optical Research, Stockholm) on surface roughness, primarily of optical surfaces, and classical light scattering (as opposed to inelastic scattering, such as Raman scattering). The reader is introduced to various surface imaging and measurement techniques as well as to related topics such as cleaning of surfaces and standards for surface roughness measurements.
