A new method has been applied for determining the mean square deviation of surface roughness and the imaginary part of permittivity of the material near-surface region. The method is based on the scattering and absorption of light in waveguide systems of integrated optics. It has high sensitivity and ease of implementation. The advantages of the proposed method are confirmed experimentally. © 2012 EDP Sciences.
