  • Abstract
    An exact solution to the scalar Dyson equation in the bilocal approximation is given for a scalar wave obliquely incident on a random half-space whose mean dielectric constant is the same as that for the uniform nonrandom medium in the conjugate halfspace. It is shown that in addition to the dominant coherent wave, a second highly damped wave is weakly excited at the interface.
