Imaging Through Scattering Media

Quantitative phase imaging and information transfer through random diffusers

Random scattering media — such as fog, tissue, or frosted glass — scramble optical wavefronts and defeat conventional imaging systems. I develop diffractive processors and hybrid electronic-optical schemes that see through this scattering all-optically.

Highlights include quantitative phase imaging (QPI) through random diffusers (Light: Advanced Manufacturing, 2023), an analysis of diffractive neural networks for seeing through random diffusers (IEEE JSTQE, 2022), optical information transfer through random unknown diffusers using electronic encoding and diffractive decoding (Advanced Photonics, 2023), and all-optical image classification through unknown random diffusers (Light: Science & Applications, 2023).
