Abstract

The reflection of probe radiation from a smooth inhomogeneity of characteristics of a medium that propagates with a relativistic velocity is analyzed. Equations that describe the propagation of forward and backward waves in an inhomogeneous medium are derived, conditions of occurrence of a Bragg resonance are formulated, and conditions for increasing the coefficient of reflection from the inhomogeneity are discussed.
