Optimal pulse penetration in Lorentz-model dielectrics using the Sommerfeld and Brillouin precursors

KE Oughstun - Optics Express, 2015 - opg.optica.org
Under proper initial conditions, the interrelated effects of phase and attenuation dispersion
in ultrawideband pulse propagation modify the input pulse into precursor fields. Because of …

Waveform design for synthetic-aperture radar imaging through dispersive media

Precursors for waves in random media

G Bal, O Pinaud, L Ryzhik, K Sølna - Wave Motion, 2014 - Elsevier
We consider scattering of a pulse propagating through a three-dimensional random media
and study the shape of the pulse in the parabolic approximation. We show that, similarly to …
