Abstract

We consider the inverse diffraction problem to recover a two-dimensional periodic structure from scattered waves measured above the structure. Following an approach by Kirsch and Kress, the inverse problem is reformulated as a nonlinear optimization problem. The resulting Tikhonov regularized least squares problem is then solved iteratively by the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Numerical results for synthetic data demonstrate the practicability of the inversion algorithm. We also present some convergence results for the Tikhonov regularization of the reconstruction problem and for the optimization method.
