Computational inverse scattering with internal sources: A reproducing kernel Hilbert space approach.

Abstract

We present a method to reconstruct the dielectric susceptibility (scattering potential) of an inhomogeneous scattering medium, based on the solution to the inverse scattering problem with internal sources. We consider a scalar model of light propagation in the medium. We employ the theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, together with regularization to recover the susceptibility of two- and three-dimensional scattering media. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed reconstruction method.
