Absorption and Direct Processes in Chaotic Wave Scattering

TL;DR

This paper reviews wave scattering in chaotic systems, analyzing how direct processes and absorption influence scattering regimes, with a focus on the interplay between these factors in different loss scenarios.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of wave scattering in chaotic systems considering both direct processes and absorption, highlighting their combined effects.

Findings

Direct processes modify absorption regimes in chaotic scattering.

Strong and weak absorption regimes are affected by direct processes.

The interplay between direct processes and absorption alters scattering behavior.

Abstract

Recent results on the scattering of waves by chaotic systems with losses and direct processes are discussed. We start by showing the results without direct processes nor absorption. We then discuss systems with direct processes and lossy systems separately. Finally the discussion of systems with both direct processes and loses is given. We will see how the regimes of strong and weak absorption are modified by the presence of the direct processes.
