We study wave propagation through a one-dimensional array of subwavelength resonators with periodically time-modulated material parameters. Focusing on a high-contrast regime, we use a scattering framework based on Fourier expansions and…
A general proof of the optical theorem (also known as the optical cross-section theorem) is presented that reveals the intimate connection between the forward scattering amplitude and the absorption-plus-scattering of the incident wave…
We consider the optical theorem for scattering of electromagnetic waves in nonlinear media. This result is used to obtain the power extinguished from a field by a nonlinear scatterer. The cases of second harmonic generation and the Kerr…
The optical theorem is an important tool for scattering analysis in acoustics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. We derive an extended version of the optical theorem for the scattering of elastic waves by a spherical inclusion…
This paper investigates the reconstruction of elastic Green's function from the cross-correlation of waves excited by random noise in the context of scattering theory. Using a general operator equation, -the resolvent formula-, Green's…
This paper concerns diffraction-tomographic reconstruction of an object characterized by its scattering potential. We establish a rigorous generalization of the Fourier diffraction theorem in arbitrary dimension, giving a precise relation…
Many practical applications require the analysis of electromagnetic scattering properties of local structures using different sources of illumination. The Optical Theorem (OT) is a useful result in scattering theory, relating the extinction…
The zero angle scattered wave plays an essential role in the celebrated Optical Theorem that relates the total extinction cross section (including both scattering and absorption) to the complex amplitude of the scattered wave. In an…
The optical memory effect is a well-known type of wave correlation that is observed in coherent fields that scatter through thin and diffusive materials, like biological tissue. It is a fundamental physical property of scattering media that…
The brightness theorem---brightness is nonincreasing in passive systems---is a foundational conservation law, with applications ranging from photovoltaics to displays, yet it is restricted to the field of ray optics. For general linear wave…
We apply the Poynting theorem to the scattering of monochromatic electromagnetic planes waves with normal incidence to the interface of two different media. We write this energy conservation theorem to introduce a natural definition of the…
Scattering wave systems that are periodically modulated in time offer many new degrees of freedom to control waves both in spatial and frequency domains. Such systems, albeit linear, do not conserve frequency and require the adaptation of…
We develop a dynamical formulation of one-dimensional scattering theory where the reflection and transmission amplitudes for a general, possibly complex and energy-dependent, scattering potential are given as solutions of a set of dynamical…
Although conservation of energy is fundamental in physics, its principles seem to be violated in the field of wave propagation in turbid media by the energy enhancement of the coherent backscattering cone. In this letter we present…
We demonstrate, in the full vector formulation of electromagnetic fields, that the well-known optical theorem pertinent for the characterization of a scatterer's extinction power and associated cross section can be expressed in a multitude…
The optical theorem is a fundamental aspect of quantum scattering theory. Here, we generalize this theorem to the case where the incident scattering state is a superposition of internal states of the collision partners, introducing…
We consider wave scattering from a system of highly contrasting resonators with time-modulated material parameters. In this setting, the wave equation reduces to a system of coupled Helmholtz equations that models the scattering problem. We…
The most general expressions of the stored energies for time-harmonic electromagnetic fields are derived from the time-domain Poynting theorem, and are valuable in characterizing the energy storage and transport properties of complex media.…
The basic laws of geometrical optics can be deduced from energy-momentum conservation for electromagnetic waves, without other wave concepts. However, the concept of quanta is required; it arises naturally, hence such a hypothesis could…
Two different versions of an optical theorem for a scattering body embedded inside a lossy background medium are derived in this paper. The corresponding fundamental upper bounds on absorption are then obtained in closed form by elementary…
