Description
William Mong Visiting Research Fellowship Series:
Seeing through strong-scattering media such as white paint or human tissue has long been considered impossible. Recent developments of optical wavefront shaping techniques have enabled the experimental realizations of imaging and focusing light through turbid samples. We demonstrated coherent control of light transmission and absorption in diffusive systems by manipulating the interference of multiply scattered waves.
