Using waves to explore our environment is a widely used paradigm, ranging from seismology to radar technology, and from bio-medical imaging to precision measurements. In all of these fields, the central aim is to gather as much information…
We present a new approach for spatiotemporal focusing through complex scattering media by wave front shaping. Using a nonlinear feedback signal to shape the incident pulsed wave front, we show that the limit of a spatiotemporal matched…
When waves propagate through a complex or heterogeneous medium the wave field is corrupted by the heterogeneities. Such corruption limits the performance of imaging or communication schemes. One may then ask the question: is there an…
The manipulation of small objects with light has become an indispensable tool in many areas of research ranging from physics to biology and medicine. Here we demonstrate how to implement micro-manipulation at the optimal level of efficiency…
Shaping the wavefront of an incident wave to a complex scattering medium has demonstrated interesting possibilities, such as sub-diffraction wave focusing and enhancing light energy delivery. However, wavefront shaping has mainly been based…
The multiple scattering of coherent light is a problem of both fundamental and applied importance. In optics, phase conjugation allows spatial focussing and imaging through a multiply scattering medium; however, temporal control is…
In an ultrasonic array system, increasing the aperture size to achieve a high resolution requires more transmit and receive channels, thus making it essential to have an analysis technique that can reconstruct the shape and physical…
We develop a statistical theory of waveform shaping of incident waves that aim to efficiently deliver energy at weakly lossy targets which are embedded inside chaotic enclosures. Our approach utilizes the universal features of chaotic…
A wave packet undergoes a strong spatial and temporal dispersion while propagating through a complex medium. This wave scattering is often seen as a nightmare in wave physics whether it be for focusing, imaging or communication purposes.…
We consider the problem of obtaining information about an inaccessible half-space from acoustic measurements made in the accessible half-space. If the measurements are of limited precision, some scatterers will be undetectable because their…

A novel approach to improving the performances of confocal scanning imaging is proposed. We experimentally demonstrate its feasibility using acoustic waves. It relies on a new way to encode spatial information using the temporal dimension.…
This is the first article in a series of three dealing with the exploitation of speckle for imaging purposes. Speckle is the complex interference wave-field produced by a random distribution of un-resolved scatterers. In this paper, we show…
Light and sound waves have the fascinating property that they can move objects through the transfer of linear or angular momentum. This ability has led to the development of optical and acoustic tweezers, with applications ranging from…
Scattering wave systems that are periodically modulated in time offer many new degrees of freedom to control waves both in spatial and frequency domains. Such systems, albeit linear, do not conserve frequency and require the adaptation of…
Determining the ultimate precision limit for measurements on a sub-wavelength particle with coherent laser light is a goal with applications in areas as diverse as biophysics and nanotechnology. Here, we demonstrate that surrounding such a…

We develop a theoretical model to investigate wave propagation in media with random time-varying properties, where temporal fluctuations lead to complex scattering dynamics. Focusing on the ensemble-averaged field, we derive an exact…
We numerically investigate the sensitivity of the scattered wave field to perturbations in the shape of a scattering body illuminated by an incident plane wave. This study is motivated by recent work on the inverse problem of reconstructing…
Time modulation of the physical parameters offers interesting new possibilities for wave control. Examples include amplification of waves, harmonic generation and non-reciprocity, without resorting to non-linear mechanisms. Most of the…
