Taming dynamic complex media for imaging, communications and photonic computing
The turbulent atmosphere, flexible optical fibres, and living tissue, are all examples of opaque materials that change in time. Light propagating through these moving complex media is subject to intricate dynamic scattering effects: transmitted optical fields are unrecognisably distorted in space and time. Such phenomena permeate real-world imaging and communications technologies. They prevent microscopy deep into living tissue and hinder both free-space and fibre-optic data transmission. My vision is the realisation of optical technology that automatically configures itself to dynamically ‘cloak’ unwanted scattering effects of any opaque medium it is coupled to – making it possible to look…
