Abstract
This paper reports a method of manipulating scattered light fields based on third-order correlation of light fields (TCLF) guided by a mask. Different from the traditional computational reconstruction of object images through the second-order correlation of light intensity in ghost imaging, the TCLF can optically reconstruct mask images in scattered fields. This optical reconstruction process enables a portion of the energy in the scattered field to be redistributed to match the object, thus enabling this imaging technique to serve as scattering wavefront shaping (SWFS) guided by a mask. Experiments show that the TCLF can easily achieve SWFS with high-resolution modulation, which has always been a challenge in this research field. With high-resolution modulation, the TCLF can shape the scattered field into more complex images, including grayscale images, and even enable video transmission through the scattering medium. This research provides a new and powerful method for SWFS, thus offering technical support for scattering-assisted holography and finding potential applications in complex media imaging in the future.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
