Deterministic Approximations of Random Reflectors

Within classical optics, one may add microscopic "roughness'' to a macroscopically flat mirror so that parallel rays of a given angle are reflected at different outgoing angles. Taking the limit (as the roughness becomes increasingly microscopic) one obtains a flat surface that reflec...
