This paper presents a numerical study of optical tomography in frequency domain for the reconstruction of optical properties of scattering and absorbing media with collimated irradiation light sources. The forward model is a least square finite element formulation of the collimated irradiation problem where the intensity is separated into its collimated and scattered parts. This model does not use any empirical stabilization and moreover the collimated source direction is taken into account. The inversion uses a gradient type minimization method where the gradient is computed through an adjoint formulation. Scaling is used to avoid numerical round errors, as the output readings at detectors are very low. Numerical reconstructions of optical properties of absorbing and scattering media with simulated data (noised and noise-free) are achieved in a complex geometry with satisfactory results. The results show that complex geometries are well handled with the proposed method.

ABSTRACTIn this contribution we report on the optical properties of cubic AlN/GaN asymmetric multi quantum wells (MQW) structures on 3C-SiC/Si (001) substrates grown by radio-frequency plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and spatially resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) at room temperature and at low temperature are used to characterize the optical properties of the cubic AlN/GaN MQW structures. An increasing CL emission intensity with increasing film thickness due to the improved crystal quality was observed. This correlation can be directly connected to the reduction of the linewidth of x-ray rocking curves with increasing film thickness of the c-GaN films. Defects like stacking faults (SFs) on the {111} planes, which also can be considered as hexagonal inclusions in the cubic crystal matrix, lead to a decrease of the CL emission intensity. With low temperature CL line scans also monolayer fluctuations of the QWs have been detected and the observed transition energies agree well with solutions calculated using a one-dimensional (1D) Schrödinger-Poisson simulator.
