Polarization of light scattered from slightly rough dielectric film

We found that a slightly rough thin dielectric film polarizes diffusely scattered light. There is a discrete set of angles of incidence and observation for which the intensity of a nonspecular diffuse P-polarized component is significantly greater than that for S polarization.
