AB  - We investigate the effects of geometrical and structural disorders on perfectly 
      asymmetric diffraction (PAD) in Raman-Nath regime. The two types of disorders are 
      realized by introducing random fluctuations in the position and width of 
      one-dimensional (1D) driven atomic lattices. Raman-Nath diffraction is modified 
      differently with respect to the geometrical and structural disorders. It is shown 
      that the PAD is observed with a certain strength range of geometrical disorder, 
      exceeding which it can be destroyed, while the PAD is rather robust against 
      structural disorder. The different behaviors originate from the disorder-induced 
      random variations of the spatial phase shifts of the standing-wave (SW) coupling 
      field and atomic lattices with Gaussian profile. Furthermore, we find that, in 
      the presence of geometrical disorder, the PAD is more susceptible to correlated 
      disorder than to uncorrelated disorder. Our scheme may be useful for 
      understanding the effects of disorder on the diffraction of light and matter 
      waves in disordered potentials..
