Abstract

A lateral wave appears at an interface between two media when a bounded beam is incident in the denser medium at the critical angle. The evanescent penetration into the less dense medium offers a method of exploring the interface region and has been used to study weak absorption. In this paper, results relating to the effects of surface roughness and deposited film inhomogeneities are discussed.
