Towards digital phantoms: emulating scattering with a spatial light modulator

Kelsey Everts, Cade Peters, Andrew Forbes

The distortion of light's degrees of freedom when passing through complex random media is of great interest across a diversity of fields, e.g., scattering in biological studies. Em…

Particle-like topologies of light in turbulent complex media

Danilo Gomes Pires, Vasilios Cocotos, Cade Peters +2

The basic building blocks of many forms of optical topologies are particle-like singularities in phase and polarisation, giving rise to lines of darkness that weave complex threads…
