Query: Numerical studies of the scattering of light from a two-dimensional
  randomly rough interface between two dielectric media   The scattering of polarized light incident from one dielectric medium on its
two-dimensional randomly rough interface with a second dielectric medium is
studied. A reduced Rayleigh equation for the scattering amplitudes is derived
for the case where p- or s-polarized light is incident on this interface, with
no assumptions being made regarding the dielectric functions of the media.
Rigorous, purely numerical, nonperturbative solutions of this equation are
obtained. They are used to calculate the reflectivity and reflectance of the
interface, the mean differential reflection coefficient, and the full angular
distribution of the intensity of the scattered light. These results are
obtained for both the case where the medium of incidence is the optically less
dense medium, and in the case where it is the optically more dense medium.
Optical analogues of the Yoneda peaks observed in the scattering of x-rays from
metal surfaces are present in the results obtained in the latter case. Brewster
scattering angles for diffuse scattering are investigated, reminiscent of the
Brewster angle for flat-interface reflection, but strongly dependent on the
angle of incidence. When the contribution from the transmitted field is added
to that from the scattered field it is found that the results of these
calculations satisfy unitarity with an error smaller than $10^{-4}$.
