Agenda
Scattering of light in complex samples such as biological tissue renders most samples opaque to conventional optical imaging techniques, a problem of great practical importance [1]. However, although random, scattering of coherent light generates speckle patterns with universal statistics and angular and spatial correlations, that allow computational retrieval of diffraction-limited imaging [2,3]. Furthermore, the random temporal fluctuations of speckle patterns, formed by light propagation in dynamic samples, can be exploited for super-resolution photo-acoustic and acousto-optic imaging, deep inside scattering samples [4-7].
I will present the fundamental principles and limitations of these novel approaches, as well as some of our recent efforts in utilizing these new insights for the development of novel endoscopic techniques [8].
