Abstract

We study the single scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by random inhomogeneities in a plane periodically nonuniform layer with a reflecting rear boundary. It is shown that when the incident wave satisfies the condition of excitation of the fundamental Bragg cavity mode and its field is large in the layer depth, the average angular spectrum of the backscattered wave field at the cavity output has a narrow maximum proportional to the exponent of the quadruple optical thickness of the periodic structure. This maximum corresponds to the condition of excitation of the fundamental Bragg cavity mode by the scattered field. The other spectral maxima have small amplitudes and intensities. Such scattering takes place if the characteristic size of random inhomogeneities in the direction perpendicular to the layer boundary exceeds the scale of multiple scattering on a periodic structure.
