Popis: We discuss experimental observations of diffusely scattered second-harmonic light from a silver surface with rms roughness comparable to the illumination wavelength. The surface produces a backscattering peak in its linear scattering distribution as is expected, but presents a distinct minimum there in the second harmonic. The minimum is attributed to multiple scattering within surface valleys.
