Random scattering of light is what makes materials such as white paint, clouds and biological tissue opaque. We show that although light propagating in these media is diffuse, a high degree of control is possible as phase information is not…
We formulate the Schiffer's conjecture in spectral geometry in the context of scattering theory. The problem is equivalent to finding a non-trivial solution in an interior transmission problem. We compare the back-scattering data of the…

Imaging an object embedded within a scattering medium requires the correction of complex sample-induced wave distortions. Existing approaches have been designed to resolve them by optimizing signal waves recorded in each 2D image. Here, we…

Scattering at a central potential is completely characterized by the phase shifts which are the differences in phase between outgoing scattered and unscattered partial waves. In this letter it is shown that, for 2D scattering at a repulsive…

We consider the wave scattering and inverse scattering in an inhomogeneous medium embedded a homogeneous droplet with a small size, which is modeled by a constant mass density and a small bulk modulus. Based on the Lippmann-Schwinger…
Based on the concept of complementary media, we propose a novel design which can enhance the electromagnetic wave scattering cross section of an object so that it looks like a scatterer bigger than the scale of the device. Such a…
We study an inverse scattering problem in which the far-field spectral cross-correlation functions of scattered fields are used to determine the unknown dielectric susceptibility of the scattering object. One-photon states for the incident…

Time-resolved scattering experiments enable imaging of materials at the molecular scale with femtosecond time resolution. However, in disordered media they provide access to just one radial dimension thus limiting the study of orientational…
Scattering properties of a material are changed when the material is injected with small acoustically soft particles. It is shown that its new scattering behavior can be understood as a solution of a potential scattering problem with the…
