Summary
In this paper time reversal of acoustic waves in a dissipative random one-dimensional medium is analyzed. It is shown that time reversal can be used as an efficient and statistically stable method to image a dissipative layer embedded in a random scattering medium. The quantities needed to achieve this goal appear as the solutions of a system of transport equations which are solved by a Monte Carlo method.
