    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Optics
    • Optical Engineering
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Focusing light within scattering media is crucial for biomedical applications.
    • Current methods often require invasive feedback, limiting their practical utility.
    • Developing non-invasive techniques for light focusing in biological tissues is a significant challenge.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel, non-invasive technique for dynamic control and focusing of light inside scattering media.
    • To combine optical coherence tomography (OCT) and wave-front shaping (WFS) for enhanced light delivery.
    • To overcome the limitations of existing invasive feedback methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a non-invasive feedback mechanism for wave-front shaping (WFS).
    • Employed thermal expansions generated by absorbed energy within the sample as the feedback signal.
    • Optimized WFS by maximizing thermal deformations in a selected focal region using a penetrating laser.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated enhanced focusing of light through scattering media beyond the ballistic regime.
    • Achieved light focusing within the penetration depth capabilities of OCT.
    • Successfully implemented a non-invasive feedback loop for precise light control.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined OCT and WFS technique offers a powerful non-invasive solution for focusing light in scattering media.
    • This method significantly improves light delivery for various biomedical applications.
    • The findings pave the way for advanced optical therapies and diagnostics in complex biological environments.
