On définit la matrice de diffusion dans un milieu stratifié perturbé. Pour une classe de perturbations, on démontre que la partie principale est un opérateur intégral de Fourier sur la sphère à l'infini. On développe un principe d'absorption limite raffiné. Dans de nombreux cas, le symbole de la matrice de diffusion détermine le comportement asymptotique des perturbations.

The scattering matrix is defined on a perturbed stratified medium. For a class of perturbations, its main part at fixed energy is a Fourier integral operator on the sphere at infinity. Proving this is facilitated by developing a refined limiting absorption principle. The symbol of the scattering matrix determines the asymptotics of a large class of perturbations.
