Application of the Inhomogeneous Lippmann--Schwinger Equation to Inverse Scattering Problems

Abstract: In this paper we present a hybrid approach to numerically solve two-dimensional electromagnetic inverse scattering problems, whereby the unknown scatterer is hosted by a possibly inhomogeneous background. The approach is 'hybrid' in that it merges a qualitative and a quantitative method to optimize the way of exploiting the a priori information on the background within the inversion procedure, thus improving the quality of the reconstruction and reducing the data amount necessary for a satisfactory result.

“…Existing methods for solving nonlinear inverse problem can be roughly categorized into two groups: iterative optimization methods and qualitative methods. The iterative optimization method (see e.g., [3,12,15,20,27]) does not require many measurements, however it require the initial guess which is the starting point of the iteration. It must be appropriately chosen by a priori knowledge of the unknown function q, otherwise, the iterative solution could not converge to the true function.…”

“…Often, solving the Lippmann-Schwinger equation is the most robust approach to account for multiple scattering, but even then the solution is iterative and requires excessive amount of computation especially for complex 3D geometries. The inversion of these forward models to obtain the refractive index in 3D is referred to as inverse scattering, also a well studied topic [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”
