An uncommon double-ray scenario of light resonant scattering by a periodic metasurface is proposed to provide strong non-specular reflection. The metasurface is constracted as an array of silicon nanodisks placed on thin silica-on-metal…
Object-motion-based speckle correlation can recover hidden objects from any inhomogeneous medium, which takes advantage of the inherent connection that the cross-correlation between speckle patterns can reflect the autocorrelation of…

Eliminating reflections caused by incident light interacting with reflective medium remains an ill-posed problem in the image restoration area. The primary challenge arises from the overlapping of reflection and transmission components in…
It is well known that when a laser is reflected from a rough surface or transmitted through a diffusive medium, a speckle pattern will be formed at a given observation plane. Speckle is commonly produced by laser beams with a homogeneous…
X-ray phase-contrast imaging offers enhanced sensitivity for weakly-attenuating materials, such as breast and brain tissue, but has yet to be widely implemented clinically due to high coherence requirements and expensive x-ray optics.…
Diffusing Wave Spectroscopy (DWS) is an extension of standard dynamic light scattering (DLS), applied to soft materials that are turbid or opaque. The propagation of light is modeled using light diffusion, characterized by a light diffusion…
The propagation of monochromatic light through a scattering medium produces speckle patterns in reflection and transmission, and the apparent randomness of these patterns prevents direct imaging through thick turbid media. Yet, since…
We present a novel method to synthesize non-trivial speckles that can enable superresolving second-order correlation imaging. The speckles acquire a unique anti-correlation in the spatial intensity fluctuation by introducing the blue noise…
Holographic optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful imaging technique, but its ability to reveal low-reflectivity features is limited. In this study, we performed holographic OCT by incoherently averaging volumes with changing…
A method is presented for modelling the optical properties of a photonic crystal structure mounted on a substrate which is thick enough that the light reflected from the back is incoherent with reflections from the front. Transmission and…
The paper presents real time speckle de-noising based on activity computation algorithm and wavelet transform. Speckles arise in an image when laser light is reflected from an illuminated surface. The process involves detection of speckles…
Polarization speckle is a fine granular light pattern having spatially varying random polarization profile. We generate these speckle patterns by using the scattering of Poincar\'e beams, a special class of vector vortex beams, through a…
We develop a self-consistent theory of temporal fluctuations of a speckle pattern resulting from the multiple scattering of a coherent wave in a weakly nonlinear disordered medium. The speckle pattern is shown to become unstable if the…
