Diffraction tomography using beam waves: z-average reconstruction.
This paper discusses the problem of diffraction tomography, when a general beam wave is used as the excitation and the three-dimensional structure of the object is considered. The special case of a zero-order beam wave with measurements of the average of the scattered field in the z direction is detailed. It is shown that in this case a reconstruction algorithm identical to the two-dimensional geometry yields a z-averaged tomogram of the inhomogeneity.
