Abstract
This paper describes a simple algorithm for reconstructing the complex index of refraction of a bounded object immersed in a known background from a knowledge of how the object scatters known incident radiation. The method described here is versatile accommodating both spatially and frequency varying incident fields and allowing a priori information about the scatterer to be introduced in a simple fashion. Numerical results show that this new algorithm outperforms the modified gradient approach which until now has been one of the most effective reconstruction algorithms available.
