Inverse problem of reflection of electromagnetic waves from layered inhomogeneous plasma-like structures with refractive-index discontinuity

摘要

To reconstruct the distribution of free carriers in a layered inhomogeneous plasma-like half-space during the electromagnetic-wave reflection, we derive the Gelfrand-Levitan-Marchenko integral equation for structures with refractive-index discontinuity by the inverse problem method. Exact model solutions of the generalized equations are analyzed. The applicability limits and scope of these exact solutions for reconstruction problems are shown.
