Scattering of polaritons by fluctuations of the dielectric constant in thin films
Arseev P. I.
The scattering of polaritons by fluctuations of the dielectric constant € due to a change in the structure of the electron spectrum upon small changes in the thickness of the film is analyzed. Near exciton lines, the fluctuations in € are more important than direct scattering by irregularities of the film boundaries.
