Abstract

The small correction volume for conventional wavefront shaping methods limits their applications in biological imaging through scattering media. We demonstrate large volume wavefront shaping through a scattering layer with a single correction by conjugate adaptive optics and remote focusing (CAORF). The remote focusing module can keep the conjugation between the AO and scattering layer during three-dimensional scanning. This new configuration provides a wider correction volume by the best utilization of the memory effect in a fast three-dimensional laser scanning microscope. Our results show that the proposed system can provide 10 times wider axial field of view compared with a conventional conjugate AO system when 16,384 segments are used on a spatial light modulator. We also demonstrated three-dimensional fluorescence imaging and multi-spot patterning through a scattering layer.
