Abstract
A recent multiple-scattering theory of waves scattered from a random rough surface of Garcia et al. [Opt. Commun. 30, 279 (1979)] is modified by the use of cumulant techniques to yield an expression for the mean scattered intensity that can be separated explicitly into a specular and a diffuse contribution, and possesses a simple physical interpretation.Keywords
