Thick biological tissues give rise to not only the scattering of incoming light waves, but also aberrations of the remaining unscattered waves. Due to the inability of existing optical imaging methodologies to overcome both of these…

As light travels through a disordered medium such as biological tissues, it undergoes multiple scattering events. This phenomenon is detrimental to in-depth optical microscopy, as it causes a drastic degradation of contrast, resolution and…

We show in random matrix theory, microwave measurements, and computer simulations that the mean free path of a random medium and the strength and position of an embedded reflector can be determined from radiation scattered by the system.…
