The Beckmann theory of scattering is applied to laser mirrors. It is shown that the theory correctly predicts the wavelength dependence of scattering profiles. The theory can be used to obtain numbers (sigma and Tau) for a laser mirror which describe its scattering characteristics. Scattering measurements made on eleven laser mirrors are presented.
