Invariant Imbedding Equations for the Dissipation Functions of an Inhomogeneous Finite Slab with Anisotropic Scattering

Abstract
Two complete sets of differential‐integral equations are derived for the dissipation functions of an inhomogeneous finite slab which scatters anisotropically. The first set is for the case of monodirectional illumination of the upper boundary, and the second is for the monodirectional illumination of the lower boundary. Conservation equations link the reflection, transmission, and dissipation functions.
