Improving depth sensitive fluorescence spectroscopy with wavefront shaping by Hsieh, Chao-Mao, Liu, Quan

“…In this study, we demonstrate that by using feedback based wavefront shaping, we can increase the signal contribution from the target and suppress that from the background region in tissue-like scattering phantoms. After wavefront optimization, the signal from the target can increase by quite a few times. …”
