Giant fluctuations of focused light reveal hidden correlations in opaque materials
When light travels through a strongly scattering material, such as biological tissue or other disordered opaque media, it follows many different paths and produces a seemingly random speckle pattern.
AI Summary
When light passes through strongly scattering media—such as biological tissue or other disordered opaque substances—it traverses many paths, creating a seemingly random speckle pattern. Researchers explain that wavefront shaping can manipulate this complex interference, enabling the focus of light through such materials. This technique reveals hidden correlations within the opaque medium by controlling the scattered light.
