In optical diffraction tomography, the multiply scattered field is a nonlinear function of the refractive index (RI) of the object. The Rytov method relies on a single-scattering propagation model and is commonly used to reconstruct images. Recently, a rec ...
Nanocomposites with tailored optical properties can provide a new degree of freedom for optical design. However, despite their potential these materials remain unused in bulk optical applications. Here we investigate the conditions under which they can be ...
A multi-scale methodology for the radiative transfer analysis of heterogeneous media composed of morphologically-complex components on two distinct scales is presented. The methodology incorporates the exact morphology at the various scales and utilizes vo ...
We present our recent progress pertaining to the synthesis and analysis of bianisotropic linear and nonlinear metasurfaces. These developments are based on the generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs), which provide a very complete and general metho ...
High-resolution imaging in thick biological tissues beyond a few transport mean free path of photons remains a formidable challenge to modern science and technology. Recent advancements in optical tomography have enabled the reconstruction of the three-dim ...
Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) can be described using the scattering process through an inhomogeneous media. An inherent nonlinearity exists relating the scattering medium and the scattered field due to multiple scattering. Multiple scattering is oft ...
We outline the construction of compatible B-splines on 3D surfaces that satisfy the continuity requirements for electromagnetic scattering analysis with the boundary element method (method of moments). Our approach makes use of Non-Uniform Rational B-splin ...
This article describes the energy resolution of spin-echo three-axis spectrometers (SE-TASs) by a compact matrix formalism. SE-TASs allow one to measure the line widths of elementary excitations in crystals, such as phonons and magnons, with an energy reso ...
Conventional approaches to sound source localization require at least two microphones. It is known, however, that people with unilateral hearing loss can also localize sounds. Monaural localization is possible thanks to the scattering by the head, though i ...
We study the stability of special, stratified solutions of a 3D Boussinesq system describing an incompressible, inviscid 3D fluid with variable density (or temperature, depending on the context) under the effect of a uni-directional gravitational force. Th ...
