Diffuse waves in a random medium layer with rough boundaries

Abstract

The problem of scattering from a random medium layer with rough boundaries is formulated as an integral equation in which the random fluctuations are represented as a zero-mean random operator. The analysis for the diffuse fields is based on the ladder-approximated Bethe–Salpeter equation. An integral equation for the diffuse intensities thus derived displays the various multiple-scattering processes involved in our problem. Transport equations are also derived and several special cases are considered to illustrate the characteristics of the results and to compare them with those in the literature.
