Show affiliationsBased on the Kirchhoff approximation and Gaussian moment theorem, we present a general expression of the intensity correlation scattered from a weakly one-dimensional rough surface, which is applicable to the cases by either two different wavelengths or two different angles of incidence. By using a Gaussian surface model, we give the numerical results for the intensity correlation function with two different wavelengths specially. The results show that with the increasing surface roughness and the decreasing surface correlation length, the correlation function decreases in specular direction and increases in other directions, which indicates that the study of the correlation of the intensities is helpful when investigating the statistical parameters of rough objects. Also the results show that the increase of rms roughness can result in the narrower correlation bandwidth.
