Synopsis

Recent advances in computation, wavefront sensing and wavefront modulation have enabled a new class of optical methods that not only compensate for, but even benefit from complexity and random scattering in optical wavefronts. In this session we aim to provide a tutorial overview as well as highlight some examples of how complex wavefronts, coupled with advanced computational methods to solve forward and inverse problems, enable enhanced resolution, robustness and add functionality such as phase contrast, sectioning, and focusing inside three-dimensional scattering media ranging from biological tissues to semiconductor nanostructures.
