Abstract

ABSTRACT

According to Huygens' principle, all points on a wave front act as secondary sources emitting spherical waves and the envelope of these spherical waves forms a new wave front. In the mathematical formulation of Huygens' principle, the waves emitted by the secondary sources are represented by Green's functions. In many present‐day applications of Huygens' principle, these Green's functions are replaced by their time‐reversed versions, thus forming a basis for backpropagation, imaging, inversion, seismic interferometry, etc. However, when the input wave field is available only on a single open boundary, this approach has its limitations. In particular, it does not properly account for multiply reflected waves. This is remedied by a modified form of Huygens' principle, in which the Green's functions are replaced by focusing functions. The modified Huygens' principle forms a basis for imaging, inverse scattering, monitoring of induced sources, etc., thereby properly taking multiply reflected waves into account.
