In this paper, we consider the inverse spectral problem of determining the spherically symmetric refractive index in a bounded spherical region of radius $b$. Instead of the usual case of the refractive index $\rho\in W^2_2$, by using…
Direct imaging methods recover the presence, position, and shape of the unknown obstacles in time-harmonic inverse scattering without a priori knowledge of either the physical properties or the number of disconnected components of the…
We consider the problem of quantum scattering of a localized wave packet by a weak Gaussian potential in two spatial dimensions. We show that, under certain conditions, this problem bears close analogy with that of focusing (or defocusing)…
We introduce an arbitrary order, computationally efficient method to smooth corners on curves in the plane, as well as edges and vertices on surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$. The method is local, only modifying the original surface in a…
The simplest Lorentz-nonreciprocal medium has the constitutive relations (${\bf D} =\epso {\bf E} -{\bf \Gamma}\times {\bf H}$ and ${\bf B} =\muo {\bf H} + {\bf \Gamma}\times{\bf E}$). Scattering by a three-dimensional object composed of…
We consider the inverse scattering problem at fixed and sufficiently large energy for the nonrelativistic and relativistic Newton equation in $\R^n$, $n \ge 2$, with a smooth and short range electromagnetic field $(V,B)$. Using results of…
All random wave fields possess a network of phase singularities. We show that while the phase statistics within speckle patterns is generic, the statistics of the motion of phase singularities differs substantially for diffusive and…
A peculiar property of complex scattering potentials is the appearance of spectral singularities. These are energy eigenvalues for certain scattering states that similarly to resonance states have infinite reflection and transmission…
Electromagnetic waves propagating in the background provided by a spacetime hosting a strong curvature, naked singularity, are fully studied. The analysis is performed not only in the realm of geometrical optics -- which, not surprisingly,…
We consider a quantum particle in a waveguide which consists of an infinite straight Dirichlet strip divided by a thin semitransparent barrier on a line parallel to the walls which is modeled by a $\delta$ potential. We show that if the…
Singularities, such as poles and branch points, play a crucial role in investigating the analytic properties of scattering amplitudes that inform new computational techniques. In this note, we point out that scattering amplitudes can also…
Light-matter interactions inside turbid medium can be controlled by tailoring the spatial distribution of energy density throughout the system. Wavefront shaping allows selective coupling of incident light to different transmission…
Uniqueness theorems are proved for 3-d inverse scattering problems in the frequency domain under the assumption that only the modulus of the complex valued wave field is measured, while the phase is unknown.
I investigate the scattering properties of transformation devices as the traditional impedance matching criteria are altered. This is demonstrated using simple theory and augmented by numerical simulations that investigate the role of…
In a previous work of 2014 on a quantum system governed by the repulsive Hamiltonian, the author proved uniqueness for short-range interactions described by a scattering operator consisting of regular and singular parts. In this paper, the…
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…
The scattering of quasiperiodic waves for a two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with a constant refractive index perturbed by a function which is periodic in one direction and of finite support in the other is considered. The scattering…
To study the scattering properties of metamaterials, we generalize two scattering methods developed for conventional (non-magnetic) isotropic materials to the case of materials with arbitrary values (positive or negative) of magnetic…
In this paper, scattering of incident plane waves from rough surfaces have been modeled in a fractional space. It is shown how wave scattering from a rough surface, could be a simple reflection problem in a fractional space. In the integer…
We study a question arising in inverse scattering theory: given a penetrable obstacle, does there exist an incident wave that does not scatter? We show that every penetrable obstacle with real-analytic boundary admits such an incident wave.…
