Surface roughness and scatter are related through Power Spectral Density analysis of AFM roughness data. A practical way is shown how to predict scatter effects when PSD curves are known.enatomic force microscopylight scatteringmicrostructureoptical losssurface roughnessthin filmUV coating620535AFM helps engineer low-scatter thin filmsjournal article
