Inverse Scattering in Near-field Optics
نویسندگان
چکیده
A regularized continuation method is developed for a two-dimensional inverse medium scattering problem in near-field optics, which reconstructs the scatterer of an inhomogeneous medium deposited on a homogeneous substrate from data accessible through photon scanning tunneling microscopy (PSTM) experiments. In addition to the ill-posedness of inverse scattering problems, two difficulties arise because of the layered background medium and limited aperture data. Numerical experiments are included to illustrate the robust behavior of the method. Related topics will also be discussed. This is a joint work with Peijun Li of University of Michigan.

Numerical solution of inverse scattering for near-field optics.
A novel regularized recursive linearization method is developed for a two-dimensional inverse medium scattering problem that arises in near-field optics, which reconstructs the scatterer of an inhomogeneous medium located on a substrate from data accessible through photon scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. Based on multiple frequency scattering data, the method starts from the Born appr...

متن کاملTheory of total-internal-reflection tomography.
A method is presented to reconstruct three-dimensional tomographic images of weakly scattering objects with subwavelength resolution. The method may be applied to data available in phase-sensitive, total-internal-reflection microscopy. The results follow from an analysis of the near-field inverse scattering problem with evanescent waves.
متن کاملInverse-scattering theory within the Rytov approximation.
A method for determining the internal structure of a localized scattering potential from field measurements performed outside the scattering volume is developed by using the Rytov approximation. The theory is compared with the inverse-scattering method within the Born and eikonal approximations and found to reduce to these methods in the weak-scattering (Born) and very-short-wavelength (eikonal...
متن کاملQuantum imaging and inverse scattering.
We consider the inverse scattering problem that arises in two-photon quantum imaging with interferometric measurements. We show that the two-point correlation function of the field contains information about the scattering medium at a spatial frequency of twice the Rayleigh bandwidth. The linearized inverse problem, however, yields reconstructions with a resolution of λ/2, where λ is the wavele...
