Inverse medium scattering for a nonlinear Helmholtz equation

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.
