Deep learning assisted optical wavefront shaping in disordered medium by Luo, Yunqi, Li, Huanhao, Zhang, Ruochong, Lai, Puxiang, Zheng, Yuanjin

“…Wavefront shaping (WFS) has been put forward several years ago to break the limitation caused by optical scattering in inhomogeneous medium, and realize optical focusing in disordered medium like biological tissues. However, usually, with traditional methods, WFS is time consuming and not cost efficient since it requires long time to obtain the information of the scattering medium. …”
