title: Ray Propagation in Non-Uniform Random Lattices

full_text_status: public
abstract: The problem of optical ray propagation in a non-uniform random half-plane lattice is considered. An external source radiates a planar monochromatic wave impinging at an angle on a half-plane random grid where each cell can be independently occupied with probability qj = 1 - pj , j being the row index. The wave undergoes specular reflections on the occupied cells and the probability of penetrating up to level k inside the lattice is analytically estimated. Numerical experiments validate the proposed approach and show improvement upon previous results that appeared in the literature. Applications of such a methodology are in the field of remote sensing and communications, where estimation of the penetration of electromagnetic waves in disordered media is of interest.
