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,…
Scattering, especially multiple scattering, is a well known problem in imaging, ranging from astronomy to medicine. In particular it is often desirable to be able to perform non-invasive imaging through turbid and/or opaque media. Many…

Scattering media, being ubiquitous in nature and critically important for assessments (e.g., biological tissues), are often considered as nuisance in optics. Here we show that it is not always the case and scattering media could be…
A channel should be built to transmit information from one place to another. Imaging is 2 or higher dimensional information communication. Conventionally, an imaging channel comprises a lens and free spaces of its both sides. The transfer…
Optical diffraction tomography is an indispensable tool for studying objects in three-dimensions due to its ability to accurately reconstruct scattering objects. Until now this technique has been limited to coherent light because spatial…
Diffraction tomography aims to recover an object's scattering potential from measured wave fields. In the classical setting, the object is illuminated by plane waves from many directions, and the Fourier diffraction theorem provides a…
While scattered light conveys most of the information we perceive, scattering may also distort that information before it reaches our detectors. The problem is acute in many applications, such as in high-resolution microscopy of biological…
