Abstract

We develop a quantitative description of giant asymmetry in reflectance, recently observed in semicontinuous metal films. The developed scaling-theory-based technique reproduces the spectral properties of semicontinuous composites, as well as provides insight into the origin of the experimentally observed loss, reflectance, and transmittance anomalies in the vicinity of the percolation threshold.
