Abstract

This paper considers the imaging of local perturbations of an infinite penetrable periodic layer. A cell of this periodic layer consists of several bounded inhomogeneities situated in a known homogeneous media. We use a differential linear sampling method to reconstruct the support of perturbations without using the Green's function of the periodic layer nor reconstruct the periodic background inhomogeneities. The justification of this imaging method relies on the well-posedeness of a nonstandard interior transmission problem, which until now was an open problem except for the special case when the local perturbation did not intersect the background inhomogeneities. The analysis of this new interior transmission problem is the main focus of this paper. We then complete the justification of our inversion method and present some numerical examples that confirm the theoretical behavior of the differential indicator function determining the reconstructable regions in the periodic layer.
