Looking through walls and around corners
TLDR
In this article, it was shown that a visually opaque multiply scattering optical barrier can be used as a thin lens which produces a near perfect, real, paraxial image of objects lying behind the barrier.Abstract:
It is shown theoretically that under appropriate conditions a visually opaque, multiply scattering optical barrier can be made to serve as a thin lens which produces a near perfect, real, paraxial image of objects lying behind the barrier. Preliminary experimental results are described which verify the validity of the underlying assumptions. The barrier can also be made to serve as various other types of optical instruments, such as mirrors, polarizers, optical Fourier analyzers, theodolites, etc. Thus it is now clear that multiply scattering media should no longer be considered barriers to optical propagation, but are more properly to be regarded as potential high-precision optical instruments.read more

Controlling waves in space and time for imaging and focusing in complex media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used strongly scattering materials to focus, shape and compress waves by controlling the many degrees of freedom in the incident waves in complex media such as white paint and biological tissue.

TL;DR: An optical method is reported that allows non-invasive imaging of a fluorescent object that is completely hidden behind an opaque scattering layer and can be generalized to other contrast mechanisms and geometries.

Non-invasive single-shot imaging through scattering layers and around corners via speckle correlations
TL;DR: In this article, a single high-resolution image of the scattered light, captured with a standard camera, encodes sufficient information to image through visually opaque layers and around corners with diffraction-limited resolution.

Looking around corners and through thin turbid layers in real time with scattered incoherent light
TL;DR: In this article, wavefront shaping enables real-time widefield imaging through turbid layers with both coherent and incoherent llumination, but also the imaging of objects outside the line-of-sight using light scattered from diffuse walls.

Light fields in complex media: Mesoscopic scattering meets wave control
Stefan Rotter,Sylvain Gigan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes how insights from mesoscopic scattering theory have direct relevance for optical wave control experiments and vice versa, and the results are expected to have an impact on a number of fields ranging from biomedical imaging to nanophotonics, quantum information, and communication technology.
