Imaging through a scattering medium by speckle intensity correlations
arXiv:1804.00552 · doi:10.1088/1361-6420/aacfb0
Abstract
In this paper we analyze an imaging technique based on intensity speckle correlations over incident field position proposed in [J. A. Newmann and K. J. Webb, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 263903 (2014)]. Its purpose is to reconstruct a field incident on a strongly scattering random medium. The thickness of the complex medium is much larger than the scattering mean free path so that the wave emerging from the random section forms an incoherent speckle pattern. Our analysis clarifies the conditions under which the method can give a good reconstruction and characterizes its performance. The analysis is carried out in the white-noise paraxial regime, which is relevant for the applications in optics that motivated the original paper.
