文摘The paper is concerned with the reconstruction of a defect in the core of a two-dimensional open waveguide from the scattering data. Since only a finite numbers of modes can propagate without attenuation inside the core, the problem is similar to the one-dimensional inverse medium problem. In particular, the inverse problem suffers from a lack of uniqueness and is known to be severely ill-posed. To overcome these difficulties, we consider multi-frequency scattering data. The uniqueness of solution to the inverse problem is established from the far field scattering information over an interval of low frequencies.
