    Area of Science:

    • Photonics
    • Wave Optics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Controlling light propagation through scattering media is challenging.
    • Existing methods often require complex measurements or are not deterministic.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel method for programming the transmission matrix of multiport linear optical circuits in scattering materials.
    • To demonstrate deterministic control over light pathways using phase-modulated incident wavefronts.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing phase modulation of incident light wavefronts to program optical circuits.
    • Experimentally verifying the method in white paint layers with varying input/output configurations (2x2, 2x3).
    • Employing interferometric techniques to confirm precise phase control between outputs.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully programmed effective transmission matrices in random multiple-scattering materials.
    • Achieved deterministic control over the phase relationships between optical outputs.
    • Demonstrated the method's applicability to general multiport linear optical circuits.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed wavefront-shaping method offers a deterministic way to control light in scattering media.
    • This technique bypasses the need for transmission matrix measurement or sensitive interference setups.
    • The method is directly applicable to existing wavefront-shaping technologies for advanced optical circuit programming.
