The inverse scattering problem, whose goal is to reconstruct an unknown object from its scattered wave, essential in fundamental wave physics and wide applications imaging sciences. However, it remains challenging invert multiple accurately efficiently. Here, we exploit the modified Born series demonstrate problem solver that efficiently directly computes without making any assumptions. inversi...

Some novel numerical approaches to solving direct and inverse obstacle scattering problems are presented. Scattering by finite obstacles and by periodic structures is considered. The emphasis for solving direct scattering problem is on the Modified Rayleigh Conjecture method, recently introduced and tested by the authors. This method is used numerically in scattering by finite obstacles and by ...

We continue our study of the inverse scattering problem for diffuse light. In contrast to our earlier work, in which we considered the linear inverse problem, we now consider the nonlinear problem. We obtain a solution to this problem in the form of a functional series expansion. The first term in this expansion is the pseudoinverse of the linearized forward-scattering operator and leads to the...

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is an imaging technique combining strong contrast of optical imaging to high spatial resolution of ultrasound imaging. These strengths are achieved via photoacoustic effect, where a spatial absorption of light pulse is converted into a measurable propagating ultrasound wave. The method is seen as a potential tool for small animal imaging, pre-clinical investigatio...
