Materials with properties that are modulated in time are known to display wave phenomena showing energy increasing with time, with the rate mediated by the modulation. Until now there has been no accounting for material dissipation, which…

Acoustic imaging methods often ignore multiple scattering. This leads to false images in cases where multiple scattering is strong.Marchenko imaging has recently been introduced as a data-driven way to deal with internal multiple…

Dynamic modulation of material properties in space and time enables powerful control over wave propagation, yet existing theories largely rely on idealized, nondispersive models. In realistic media, frequency dispersion can strongly reshape…

The reciprocity principle is that, when an emitted wave gets scattered on an object, the scattering transition amplitude does not change if we interchange the source and the detector - in other words, if incoming waves are interchanged with…

Electromagnetic waves in a system with a space and time dependent boundary experience both diffraction and Doppler-like frequency conversion. In order to analyse such situations, conventional methods call for either the eigenmodes or the…

Reflection and transmission of waves in piecewise constant layered media are important in various imaging modalities and have been studied extensively. Despite this, no exact time domain formulas for the Green's functions have been…

Long-distance transmission of energy by waves is a key mechanism for many natural processes. It becomes possible when the inhomogeneous medium is arranged in such a manner that it enables a specific type of waves to propagate with virtually…

We consider the time dependent Maxwell system in the sense of distributions in the context of temporal interfaces. Just as with spatial interfaces, electromagnetic waves at temporal interfaces scatter and create a transmitted and reflected…

The amplitude of a pulse that propagates in a homogeneous material whose properties are instantaneously changed periodically in time will undergo an exponential increase, due to the interference between the reflected and transmitted pulses…

Exotic compact objects may resemble black holes very closely while remaining horizonless. They may be distinguished from black holes because they effectively give rise to a resonant cavity for the propagation of low frequency gravity waves.…

Introducing correlations between the spatial and temporal degrees of freedom of a pulsed optical beam (or wave packet) can profoundly alter its propagation in free space. Indeed, appropriate spatio-temporal spectral correlations can render…

The scattering of electromagnetic waves from obstacles with wave-material interaction in thin layers on the surface is described by generalized impedance boundary conditions, which provide effective approximate models. In particular, this…
