Three-dimensional optical imaging in layered media.
The present paper deals with the reconstruction of three-dimensional objects from the scattered far-field. The configuration under study is typically the one used in the Optical Diffraction Tomography (ODT), in which the sample is illuminated with various angles of incidence and the scattered field is measured for each illumination. The retrieval of the sample from the scattered field is accomplished numerically by solving the inverse scattering problem. We present herein a fast method for solving the inverse scattering problem based on the Coupled Dipole Method (CDM) and applied it for complex background configuration such as buried objects in a layered medium. Numerical experiments are reported and robustness against the presence of noise in the data is analyzed.
