Pulse wave scattering by an absorber and integrated attenuation in the diffusion approximation

Abstract

The diffusion equation derived from the space–time transport equation, in contrast to the conventional diffusion equation, should have a diffusion coefficient perfectly independent of the attenuation coefficient, γab, without any constraint on the magnitude of γab and also on its possible spatial inhomogeneity; however, in the case of time-independent diffusion equations, including those for intensity-modulated density waves, such parameters are subjected to constraints including both γab and the modulation frequency. Basic equations for a fixed scatterer embedded in the random medium are presented with reference to previous papers, with some applications. A previous expression for integrated attenuation in a slowly changing medium of γab is improved to be valid to second order of γab for a temporal pulse wave and to first order for an intensity-modulated wave.
