Non-invasive detection of objects embedded inside an optically scattering medium is essential for numerous applications in engineering and sciences. However, in most applications light at visible or near-infrared wavebands is scattered by…

Time-varying media have recently emerged as a new paradigm for wave manipulation, thanks to thesynergy between the discovery of novel, highly nonlinear materials, such as epsilon-near-zero materials, and the questfor novel wave…

When light travels through scattering media, speckles (spatially random distribution of fluctuated intensities) are formed due to the interference of light travelling along different optical paths, preventing the perception of structure,…
