The optical medium analogy of a radiation field generated by either an exact gravitational plane wave or an exact electromagnetic wave in the framework of general relativity is developed. The equivalent medium of the associated background…
Light diffusion is usually associated with thick, opaque media. Indeed, multiple scattering is necessary for the onset of the diffusive regime and such condition is generally not met in almost transparent media. Nonetheless, at long enough…
It is proved that the scattering amplitude $A(\beta, \alpha_0, k_0)$, known for all $\beta\in S^2$, where $S^2$ is the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$, and fixed $\alpha_0\in S^2$ and $k_0>0$, determines uniquely the surface $S$ of the…
Two-body scattering of neutral particles in a trap is studied theoretically. The control of the initial state is realized by using optical traps. The collisions inside the trap occur repeatedly; thereby the effect of interaction can be…
Geometrically decorated two-dimensional (2D) discrete surfaces can be more effective than conventional smooth reflectors in managing wave radiation. Constructive non-specular wave scattering permits the scattering angle to be other than…
By using Laplace's method for double integrals and the so-called beam condition obeyed by a partially coherent beamlike light field, we report the equivalence theory (ET) of partially coherent beams on scattering for the first time. We…
A method is described for estimating effective scattering lengths via spectroscopy on a trapped pair of atoms. The method relies on the phenomena that the energy levels of two atoms in a harmonic trap are shifted by their collisional…
We experimentally show that the non-separability of polarization and orbital angular momentum present in a light beam remains preserved under scattering through a random medium like rotating ground glass. We verify this by measuring the…
In this paper we examine necessary conditions for an inhomogeneity to be non-scattering, or equivalently, by negation, sufficient conditions for it to be scattering. These conditions are formulated in terms of the regularity of the boundary…
Nonlinear effects could play a crucial role in addressing optical nonreciprocal behaviors in scattering media. Such behaviors are, however, typically observed within a single transmission channel and predominantly in media with fixed…
We consider the class of dispersing billiard systems in the plane formed by removing three convex analytic scatterers satisfying the non-eclipse condition. The collision map in this system is conjugated to a subshift, providing a natural…
It is well known that certain special classes of self-gravitating point-like defects, such as global (non gauged) monopoles, give rise to non-asymptotically flat space-times characterized by solid angle deficits, whose size depends on the…

I have been too conservative in `A review of the properties of the scattered starlight which contaminates the spectrum of reddened stars' (NewA, 2002, 7/4, 191) concerning the conditions implied by an additional component of scattered light…
We are interested in the scattering problem for the cubic 3D nonlinear defocusing Schr\"odinger equation with variable coefficients. Previous scattering results for such problems address only the cases with constant coefficients or assume…
Two conditions on symmetries are identified as necessary for a linear scattering system to be able to rotate the linear polarisation of light: Lack of at least one mirror plane of symmetry and electromagnetic duality symmetry. Duality…
We consider the case of scattering by several obstacles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $d \geq 2$. We establish a relative trace formula for Neumann and transmission boundary conditions analogous to the one obtained in arXiv:2002.07291 for Dirichlet…
In this paper, we consider a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic potential $\alpha$ and a potential $U$. For brevity, this type of systems are called $\MP$-systems. On simple $\MP$-systems, we consider both…
We study coherent backscattering of a quasi-monochromatic laser by a dilute gas of cold two-level atoms. We consider the perturbative regime of weak intensities, where nonlinear effects arise from {\em inelastic} two-photon scattering…
We prove global existence for quasilinear wave equations outside of a wide class of obstacles. The obstacles may contain trapped hyperbolic rays as long as there is local exponential energy decay for the associated linear wave equation.…
