Multi-scaled diffusion-approximation. Applications to wave propagation in random media
In this paper we consider the problem of estimating the singular support of the Green’s function of the wave equation by using ambient noise signals recorded by passive sensors. We assume that noise sources emit stationary random signals into the medium which are recorded by sensors. We explain how the cross correlation of the signals recorded by two sensors is related to the Green’s function between the sensors. By looking at the singular support of the cross correlation we can obtain an estimate...
We consider sensor array imaging with the purpose to image reflectors embedded in a medium. Array imaging consists in two steps. In the first step waves emitted by an array of sources probe the medium to be imaged and are recorded by an array of receivers. In the second step the recorded signals are processed to form an image of the medium. Array imaging in a scattering medium is limited because coherent signals recorded at the receiver array and coming from a reflector to be imaged are weak and...
In this paper a multi-scaled diffusion-approximation theorem is proved so as to unify various applications in wave propagation in random media: transmission of optical modes through random planar waveguides; time delay in scattering for the linear wave equation; decay of the transmission coefficient for large lengths with fixed output and phase difference in weakly nonlinear random media.
