    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Wavefront Shaping
    • Light Propagation Through Scattering Media

    Background:

    • Controlling light propagation through scattering media is a significant challenge in wavefront shaping.
    • The scanning range of foci generated by wavefront shaping is typically limited by the optical memory effect (ME).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate an efficient method for scanning light foci beyond the ME region in scattering media.
    • To enable controllable light propagation over extended ranges for applications requiring imaging through scattering materials.

    Main Methods:

    • Introduced the wavefront tilting and re-optimization (WFT&RO) method.
    • Utilized wavefront tilting to initially scan the focus.
    • Employed wavefront re-optimization using the scanned focus as a guide star to enhance intensity and accelerate optimization.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully demonstrated efficient scanning of a focus beyond the ME region in scattering media.
    • Achieved scanning ranges at least 5-fold larger than the ME region for a single diffuser and 7-fold larger for two cascaded diffusers.
    • Maintained relatively uniform focus intensity throughout the extended scanning range.

    Conclusions:

    • The WFT&RO method effectively overcomes the limitations of the optical memory effect for focus scanning in scattering media.
    • This technique offers a promising solution for applications such as deep-tissue imaging and optical manipulation through opaque environments.
    • The ability to scan foci over large distances with uniform intensity is crucial for advanced imaging and sensing applications.
