Iterative approach of high-order scattering solution for vector radiative transfer of inhomogeneous media layer
非均匀散射层矢量辐射传输(VRT)方程高阶散射解的迭代法

By stratifying a random scattering media into thin multi layers in z direction,the first order scattering solution of each thin layer with Fourier transform is employed to derive high order scattering solution of the whole random media.An iterative approach to solve high order scattering solution of a vector radiative transfer (VRT) equation is newly developed.Numerical results are well compared with the Mueller matrix solutions of the first order for a layer medium,second order for a half space,and also the results of the discrete ordinates and eigen analysis method.It demonstrates that our approach is as feasible,effective and especially applicable to high order solutions of VRT for both bistatic scattering and thermal emission of inhomogeneous non spherical scattering media.
