| Abstract: | Specular reflection is examined for grazing incidence of a beam of pulsed laser radiation on a periodic grating under conditions of surface-electromagnetic-wave (SEW) generation with diffraction order l=–1. It is shown that reradiation of the SEW energy in the reflection direction and beam spreading can greatly affect the shape of the reflected signal.All-Union Scientific-Research Institute of Opticophysical Measurements.
