Abstract:
Mechanism of light propagation in strongly absorbing and inhomogeneous media is interpreted in terms of amplitude trajectories of the minimum extinction, the description of which is similar to that of the refraction in geometric optics. Under the assumption of axial symmetry of the profile of linear absorption coefficient, and using the inverse Abel transformation one may obtain the exact solution to the inverse problem on reconstruction of the absorption coefficient profile from the extinction measurement data. Using imitation simulations, the method is shown to work quite well for different profiles in the presence of measurement noise.
