Imaging Through Scattering Media Using Wavefront Shaping

Optical scattering has been a major obstacle that prevents optical imaging from seeing deeper. In this chapter, we briefly introduce the development and the current achievement of a technique, namely, wavefront shaping, which allows optical imaging through scattering media. Such a capability is enabled by modulating the incident light with a special wavefront. With this special wavefront, scattering-induced wavefront scrambling can be effectively compensated so that arbitrary optical field distribution can be synthesized through scattering.
