Feedback-based wavefront shaping

Influence of the absorber dimensions on wavefront shaping based on volumetric optoacoustic feedback.

The recently demonstrated control over light distribution through turbid media based on real-time three-dimensional optoacoustic feedback has offered promising prospects to interferometrically focus light within scattering objects. Nevertheless, the focusing capacity of the feedback-based approach is strongly conditioned by the number of optical modes (speckle grains) enclosed in the volume tha...

Microgenetic optimization algorithm for optimal wavefront shaping.

One of the main limitations of utilizing optimal wavefront shaping in imaging and authentication applications is the slow speed of the optimization algorithms currently being used. To address this problem we develop a microgenetic optimization algorithm (μGA) for optimal wavefront shaping. We test the abilities of the μGA and make comparisons to previous algorithms (iterative and simple-genetic...

Ultrasonically encoded light as feedback to iterative wavefront shaping for focusing into random media

Surface-plasmon wavefront and spectral shaping by near-field holography

A R TI CL E Abstract Surface-plasmon-polariton waves are twodimensional electromagnetic surface waves that propagate at the interface between a metal and a dielectric. These waves exhibit unusual and attractive properties, such as high spatial confinement and enhancement of the optical field, and are widely used in a variety of applications, such as sensing and subwavelength optics. The ability...

Ultrasonically encoded wavefront shaping for focusing into random media

Phase distortions due to scattering in random media restrict optical focusing beyond one transport mean free path. However, scattering can be compensated for by applying a correction to the illumination wavefront using spatial light modulators. One method of obtaining the wavefront correction is by iterative determination using an optimization algorithm. In the past, obtaining a feedback signal...
