Inverse scattering problem for a stratified dispersive chiral medium

Abstract

An inverse problem for a non-homogeneous (stratified) dispersive chiral slab is considered in the frequency domain. The problem is treated as a holomorphic factorization problem in the frequency complex plane. The reconstruction algorithm is based on the reformulation of the scattering problem as a Riemann-Hilbert problem. Uniqueness in the parameter reconstruction under normal incidence of the exciting waves is studied.
