Abstract

The scattering of an electromagnetic plane wave from Young pinholes upon a quasi-homogeneous (QH) anisotropic medium is studied within the accuracy of the first-order Born approximation. By assuming that the diffractive wave from pinholes are paraxial with respect to the propagation direction, it is shown that the correlation of incident wave, anisotropic correlation statistics of the medium, and the pinhole size configuration can influence the statistical properties of the scattered field. In particular, the normalized spectral density, spectral degree of coherence, and spectral degree of polarization of the scattered field are derived by analytic forms, respectively.
