Abstract
An experimental study of backscatter enhancement from rough surfaces is presented. The Stokes parameters of the average scattered light from two-dimensional rough surfaces show the presence of an unpolarized component, which lends support to the multiply scattering ray model. Experimental data from one-dimensional rough surfaces are compared with numerical calculation.
