Wave-like Properties of Phasor Fields: Experimental Demonstrations

Recently, an optical meta concept called the Phasor Field (P-Field) was proposed that yields great quality in the reconstruction of hidden objects imaged by non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging. It is based on virtual sinusoidal modulation of the light with frequencies in the MHz range. Phasor Field propagation was shown to be described by the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral. We extend this concept and stress the analogy between electric field and Phasor Field. We introduce Phasor Field optical elements and present experiments demonstrating the validity of the approach. Straightforward use of the Phasor Field concept in real-world applications is also discussed.
