Inverse medium scattering for a nonlinear Helmholtz equation
From MaRDI portal
Publication:2154402
Abstract: We discuss a time-harmonic inverse scattering problem for a nonlinear Helmholtz equation with compactly supported inhomogeneous scattering objects that are described by a nonlinear refractive index in unbounded free space. Assuming the knowledge of a nonlinear far field operator, which maps Herglotz incident waves to the far field patterns of corresponding solutions of the nonlinear scattering problem, we show that the nonlinear index of refraction is uniquely determined. We also generalize two reconstruction methods, a factorization method and a monotonicity method, to recover the support of such nonlinear scattering objects. Numerical results illustrate our theoretical findings.
In this paper, the authors discussed a direct and inverse scattering problem for a class of nonlinear Helmholtz equations in unbounded free space. Assuming that the intensities of the incident waves are sufficiently small relative to the size of the nonlinearity, they established existence and uniqueness of solutions to the direct and inverse scattering problem, and showed that the nonlinear index of refraction is uniquely determined based on linearization techniques and estimates for the linearization error. The authors also generalized two shape reconstruction methods, a factorization method and a monotonicity method, to recover the support of such nonlinear scattering objects. Numerical results were also provided to illustrate their theoretical findings.
