Book Description
Wave Propagation and Scattering in Random Media, Volume 1: Single Scattering and Transport Theory presents the fundamental formulations of wave propagation and scattering in random media in a unified and systematic manner, as well as useful approximation techniques applicable to a variety of different situations. The emphasis is on single scattering theory and transport theory. The reader is introduced to the fundamental concepts and useful results of the statistical wave propagation theory. This volume is comprised of 13 chapters, organized around three themes: waves in random scatterers, waves in random continua, and rough surface scattering. The first part deals with the scattering and propagation of waves in a tenuous distribution of scatterers, using the single scattering theory and its slight extension to explain the fundamentals of wave fluctuations in random media without undue mathematical complexities. Many practical problems of wave propagation and scattering in the atmosphere, oceans, and other random media are discussed. The second part examines transport theory, also known as the theory of radiative transfer, and includes chapters on wave propagation in random particles, isotropic scattering, and the plane-parallel problem. This monograph is intended for engineers and scientists interested in optical, acoustic, and microwave propagation and scattering in atmospheres, oceans, and biological media.

Publisher: SPIE-International Society for Optical Engineering
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 820
Book Description
Since publication of the first edition of this text in 1998, there have been several new, important developments in the theory of beam wave propagation through a random medium, which have been incorporated into this second edition. Also new to this edition are models for the scintillation index under moderate-to-strong irradiance fluctuations; models for aperture averaging based on ABCD ray matrices; beam wander and its effects on scintillation; theory of partial coherence of the source; models of rough targets for ladar applications; phase fluctuations; analysis of other beam shapes; plus expanded analysis of free-space optical communication systems and imaging systems.

Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789971505394
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 660
Book Description
The past decade has witnessed breakthroughs in the understanding of the wave localization phenomena and its implications for wave multiple scattering in inhomogeneous media. This book brings together review articles written by noted researchers in this field in a tutorial manner so as to give the readers a coherent picture of its status. It would be valuable both as an up-to-date reference for active researchers as well as a readable source for students looking to gain an understanding of the latest results.

Random Media and Boundaries
Author: Koichi Furutsu
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642848079
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
For a system consisting of a random medium with rough boundaries, the governing (Bethe-Salpeter) equation for boundary-value transport problems can be written in a form such that the medium and the boundaries are treatedon an equal footing. This enables several expressions for the solution to be obtained by interchanging the roles of the medium and the boundaries, thus allowing the most convenient one to be selected according to the specific situation and the information required. This book presents a unified theory based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation with particular attention being paid to: boundary-value problems of transport, layer problems, a fixed scatterer imbedded in a bounded random medium, construction of an optical scattering matrix for a complete system, and optical wave propagation in a turbulent medium. The last topic is treated in terms of first moment equations combined with the cluster expansion and, second, the two-scale method based on the Lagrange variational principle.

Book Description
Wave propagation and random media are defined, and the nature of the mathematical problems arising in random media is described. The two principal types of methods for solving these problems--honest and dishonest methods--are explained. These methods are first illustrated by considering the geometrical optics of a random medium by one method of each type. Some new results are obtained by an honest method and some errors in a previous work are pointed out. Comparison is made between the results of the two methods and the reasons why they disagree are explained. As the propagation in random media is described.
