Blind focusing through strongly scattering media using wavefront shaping with nonlinear feedback
arXiv:1902.02718 · doi:10.1364/OE.27.011673
Abstract
Scattering prevents light from being focused in turbid media. The effect of scattering can be negated through wavefront shaping techniques when a localized form of feedback is available. Even in the absence of such a localized reporter, wavefront shaping can blindly form a single diffraction-limited focus when the feedback response is nonlinear. We developed and experimentally validated a model that accurately describes the statistics of this blind focusing process. We show that maximizing the nonlinear feedback signal does not always result in the formation of a focus. Using our model, we can calculate the minimal requirements to blindly focus light through strongly scattering media.
