Simulating the Optical Phase Conjugation Phenomenon of Light Multiply Scattered through a Macroscopic Random Medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
The light scattering effects of turbid media causing opacity may be undone via Optical Phase Conjugation (OPC). Here we rigorously simulate light scattering through a macroscopic random using the pseudospectral time-domain (PSTD) technique. The OPC phenomenon of multiply scattered light can be quantitatively analyzed which is not feasible otherwise. Specifically, factors affecting the electromagnetic energy propagation and refocusing phenomenon is analyzed. The reported simulation study allows accurate characterization of the optical properties of the OPC phenomenon for practical biomedical applications.

Time-reversing a monochromatic subwavelength optical focus by optical phase conjugation of multiply-scattered light
Due to its time-reversal nature, optical phase conjugation generates a monochromatic light wave which retraces its propagation paths. Here, we demonstrate the regeneration of a subwavelength optical focus by phase conjugation. Monochromatic light from a subwavelength source is scattered by random nanoparticles, and the scattered light is phase conjugated at the far-field region by coupling its ...

Turbidity Suppression via Optical Phase Conjugation (TS-OPC) is an optical phenomenon that uses the back propagation nature of optical phase conjugate light field to undo the effect of tissue scattering. We use the computationally efficient and accurate pseudospectral time-domain (PSTD) simulation method to study this phenomenon; a key adaptation is the volumetric inversion of the optical wavef...

We present experiments that study the impact of polarization selection on the phenomenon of turbidity suppression by optical phase conjugation. Counter to intuition, we discovered that the preferential utilization of multiply scattered light field components over their sparsely scattered counterparts via appropriate polarization selection can lead to better image reconstruction quality. This ef...

We demonstrate focusing coherent light on a nanoparticle through turbid media based on digital optical phase conjugation of second harmonic generation (SHG) field from the nanoparticle. A SHG active nanoparticle inside a turbid medium was excited at the fundamental frequency and emitted SHG field as a point source. The SHG emission was scattered by the turbid medium, and the scattered field was...
