Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) holographic display (3DHD) can preserve all the volumetric information about an object. However, the poor fidelity of 3DHD constrains its applications. Here, we present an ultrahigh-fidelity 3D holographic display that uses scattering for homogenization of angular spectrum. A scattering medium randomizes the incident photons and homogenizes the angular spectrum distribution. The redistributed field is recorded by a photopolymer film with numerous modulation modes and a half-wavelength scale pixel size. We have experimentally improved the contrast of a focal spot to 6 × 106 and tightened its spatial resolution to 0.5 micrometers, respectively ~300 and 4.4 times better than digital approaches. By exploiting the spatial multiplexing ability of the photopolymer and the transmission channel selection capability of the scattering medium, we have realized a dynamic holographic display of 3D spirals consisting of 20 foci across 1 millimeter × 1 millimeter × 26 millimeters with uniform intensity.

Abstract
One of the main challenges in the wavefront shaping technique is to enable controllable light propagation through scattering media. However, the scanning of the focus generated by wavefront shaping is limited to a small range determined by the optical memory effect (ME). Here, we propose and demonstrate efficiently scanning a focus behind scattering media beyond the ME region using the wavefront tilting and re-optimization (WFT&RO) method. After scanning an initial focus to a desired position by wavefront tilting, our approach utilizes the scanned focus at a new position as the "guide star" to do wavefront re-optimization, which can not only enhance the intensity of the focus to the value before scanning but also accelerate the optimization speed. Repeat such a process, we can theoretically fast scan the focus to any position beyond the ME region while maintaining a relatively uniform intensity. We experimentally demonstrate the power of the method by scanning a focus with uniform intensity values through an optical diffuser within a range that is at least 5 folds larger than the ME region. Additionally, for the case of two cascaded optical diffusers, the scanning range achieved is at least 7 folds larger than the ME region. Our method holds promising implications for applications such as imaging through media, where the ability to control light through scattering media is crucial.

Abstract
Focusing light inside scattering media is a long-sought goal in optics. Time-reversed ultrasonically encoded (TRUE) focusing, which combines the advantages of biological transparency of the ultrasound and the high efficiency of digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC) based wavefront shaping, has been proposed to tackle this problem. By invoking repeated acousto-optic interactions, iterative TRUE (iTRUE) focusing can further break the resolution barrier imposed by the acoustic diffraction limit, showing great potential for deep-tissue biomedical applications. However, stringent requirements on system alignment prohibit the practical use of iTRUE focusing, especially for biomedical applications at the near-infrared spectral window. In this work, we fill this blank by developing an alignment protocol that is suitable for iTRUE focusing with a near-infrared light source. This protocol mainly contains three steps, including rough alignment with manual adjustment, fine-tuning with a high-precision motorized stage, and digital compensation through Zernike polynomials. Using this protocol, an optical focus with a peak-to-background ratio (PBR) of up to 70% of the theoretical value can be achieved. By using a 5-MHz ultrasonic transducer, we demonstrated the first iTRUE focusing using near-infrared light at 1053 nm, enabling the formation of an optical focus inside a scattering medium composed of stacked scattering films and a mirror. Quantitatively, the size of the focus decreased from roughly 1 mm to 160 µm within a few consecutive iterations and a PBR up to 70 was finally achieved. We anticipate that the capability of focusing near-infrared light inside scattering media, along with the reported alignment protocol, can be beneficial to a variety of applications in biomedical optics.

Abstract
Wavefront distortion induced by scattering media seriously affects optical focusing. Wavefront shaping based on a transmission matrix (TM) is useful in controlling light propagation in highly scattering media. Traditional TM generally studies amplitude and phase, but the stochastic nature of the light propagation in the scattering medium also affects its polarization. Based on the binary polarization modulation, we propose a single polarization transmission matrix (SPTM) and achieve single-spot focusing through scattering media. We anticipate that the SPTM will be widely used in wavefront shaping.

Abstract
The high resolution of optical imaging and optogenetic stimulation in the deep tissue requires focusing light against strong scattering with high contrast. Digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC) has emerged recently as a promising solution for this requirement, because of its short latency. A digital micromirror device (DMD) in the implementation of DOPC enables a large number of modulation modes and a high speed of modulation both of which are important when dealing with a highly dynamic scattering medium. Here, we propose full-polarization DOPC (fpDOPC) in which two DMDs simultaneously modulate the two orthogonally polarized components of the optical field, respectively, to mitigate the effect of depolarization caused by strong scattering. We designed a simple system to overcome the difficulty of alignment encountered when modulating two polarized components independently. Our simulation and experiment showed that fpDOPC could generate a high-contrast focal spot, even though the polarization of light had been highly randomized by scattering. In comparison with the conventional method of modulating the polarization along a particular direction, fpDOPC can improve the peak to background ratio of the focal spot by a factor of two. This new technique has good potential in applications such as high-contrast light focusing in vivo.

Abstract
Digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC) can be applied for light-field focusing and imaging through or within scattering media. Traditional DOPC only recovers the phase but loses the polarization information of the original incident beam. In this Letter, we propose a dual-polarization-encoded DOPC to recover the full information (both phase and polarization) of the incident beam. The phase distributions of two orthogonal polarization components of the speckle field coming from a multimode fiber are first measured by using digital holography. Then, the phase distributions are separately modulated on two beams and their conjugations are superposed to recover the incident beam through the fiber. By changing the phase difference or amplitude ratio between the two conjugate beams, light fields with complex polarization distribution can also be generated. This method will broaden the application scope of DOPC in imaging through scattering media.

Abstract
Optical time reversal can focus light through or into scattering media, which raises a new possibility for conquering optical diffusion. Because optical time reversal must be completed within the correlation time of speckles, enhancing the speed of time-reversed optical focusing is important for practical applications. Although employing faster digital devices for time-reversal helps, more efficient methodologies are also desired. Here, we report a single-shot time-reversed optical focusing method to minimize the wavefront measurement time. In our approach, all information requisite for optical time reversal is extracted from a single-shot hologram, and hence no other preconditions or measurements are required. In particular, we demonstrate the first realization of single-shot time-reversed ultrasonically encoded (TRUE) optical focusing into scattering media. By using the minimum amount of measurement, this work breaks the fundamental speed limit of digitally based time reversal for focusing into and through scattering media, and constitutes an important step toward high-speed wavefront shaping applications.

Abstract
Focusing light inside live tissue by digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC) has been intensively investigated due to its potential biomedical applications in deep-tissue imaging, optogenetics, microsurgery, and phototherapy. However, fast physiological motions in a live animal, such as blood flow and respiratory motions, produce undesired photon perturbation and thus inevitably deteriorate the performance of light focusing. Here, we develop a photon-frequency-shifting DOPC method to fight against fast physiological motions by switching the states of a guide star at a distinctive frequency. Therefore, the photons tagged by the guide star are well detected at the specific frequency, separating them from the photons perturbed by fast motions. Light focusing was demonstrated in both phantoms in vitro and mice in vivo with substantially improved focusing contrast. This work puts a new perspective on light focusing inside live tissue and promises wide biomedical applications.

Abstract
Controlling light propagation intentionally through turbid media such as ground glass or biological tissue has been demonstrated for many useful applications. Due to random scattering effect, one of the important goals is to draw a desired shape behind turbid media with a swift and precise method. Feedback wavefront shaping method which is known as a very effective approach to focus the light, is restricted by slow optimization process for obtaining multiple spots. Here we propose a technique to implement feedback wavefront shaping with optical memory effect and optical 4f system to speedy move focus spot and form shapes in 3D space behind scattering media. Starting with only one optimization process to achieve a focusing spot, the advantages of the optical configuration and full digital control allow us to move the focus spot with high quality at the speed of SLM frame rate. Multiple focusing spots can be achieved simultaneously by combining multiple phase patterns on a single SLM. By inheriting the phase patterns in the initial focusing process, we can enhance the intensity of the focusing spot at the edge of memory effect in with 50% reduction in optimization time. With a new focusing spot, we have two partially overlapped memory effect regions, expanding our 3D scanning range. With fast wavefront shaping devices, our proposed technique could potentially find appealing applications with biological tissues.

Abstract
Port wine stains (PWSs) are congenital dermal vascular lesions composed of a hyperdilated vasculature. Purpura represented by local hemorrhage from water vaporization in blood during laser therapy of PWS is typically considered a clinical feedback, but with a low cure rate. In this study, light propagation and heat deposition in skin and PWSs is simulated by a tetrahedron-based Monte Carlo method fitted to curved bio-tissues. A curvature-corrected pressure damage model was established to accurately evaluate the relationship between purpura-bleeding area (rate) and laser therapy strategy for real complex vessels. Results showed that the standard deviation of Gaussian curvature of the vessel wall has negative relation with the fluence threshold of vessel rupture, but has positive relation with the effective laser fluence of vessel damage. This finding indicated the probable reason for the poor treatment of PWS, that is, considering purpura formation as a treatment end point (TEP) only leads to partial removal of vascular lesions. Instead, appropriate purpura area ratio with marked effects or rehabilitation should be adopted as TEP. The quantitative correlation between the fluence of a pulsed dye laser and the characteristics of vascular lesions can provide personalized and precise guidance for clinical treatments.

Abstract
Focusing light deep by engineering wavefronts toward guide stars inside scattering media has potential biomedical applications in imaging, manipulation, stimulation, and therapy. However, the lack of endogenous guide stars in biological tissue hinders its translations to in vivo applications. Here, we use a reversibly switchable bacterial phytochrome protein as a genetically encoded photochromic guide star (GePGS) in living tissue to tag photons at targeted locations, achieving light focusing inside the tissue by wavefront shaping. As bacterial phytochrome-based GePGS absorbs light differently upon far-red and near-infrared illumination, a large dynamic absorption contrast can be created to tag photons inside tissue. By modulating the GePGS at a distinctive frequency, we suppressed the competition between GePGS and tissue motions and formed tight foci inside mouse tumors in vivo and acute mouse brain tissue, thus improving light delivery efficiency and specificity. Spectral multiplexing of GePGS proteins with different colors is an attractive possibility.

Abstract
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is a noninvasive optical modality that holds promise for early detection of tongue lesions. Spectral signatures generated by HSI contain important diagnostic information that can be used to predict the disease status of the examined biological tissue. However, the underlying pathophysiology for the spectral difference between normal and neoplastic tissue is not well understood. Here, we propose to leverage digital pathology and predictive modeling to select the most discriminative features from digitized histological images to differentiate tongue neoplasia from normal tissue, and then correlate these discriminative pathological features with corresponding spectral signatures of the neoplasia. We demonstrated the association between the histological features quantifying the architectural features of neoplasia on a microscopic scale, with the spectral signature of the corresponding tissue measured by HSI on a macroscopic level. This study may provide insight into the pathophysiology underlying the hyperspectral dataset.

Abstract
We present a scheme for active compensation of complex extrinsic polarization perturbations introduced into an optical system. Imaging polarimeter is used to measure the polarization state across a beam profile and a liquid crystal spatial light modulator controls the polarization of the input beam. A sequence of measurements permits determination of the birefringence properties of a perturbing specimen. The necessary correction is calculated and fed back to the polarization modulator to compensate for the polarization perturbation. The system capabilities are demonstrated on a range of birefringent specimens.

Abstract
Optical speckle patterns occur when a coherent optical wavefront is randomized but such stochastic yet deterministic information about the medium can be decoded. A simple setup is inspired to monitor the decorrelation of speckle patterns within the memory effect range when the medium is photoacoustically perturbated. Experimentally, a linear relationship is confirmed between the speckle correlation change and the peak-to-peak amplitude of the ultrasonic transducer-detected photoacoustic waves, and the detection sensitivity is comparable. Such a plain specklegram-based method may find special interests when no direct contact is allowed between the sample and the photoacoustic detector.

Abstract
Focusing light through or inside scattering media by the analog optical phase conjugation (AOPC) technique based on photorefractive crystals (PRCs) has been intensively investigated due to its high controlled degrees of freedom and short response time. However, the existing AOPC systems only phase-conjugate the scattered light in one polarization direction, while the polarization state of light scattered through a thick scattering medium is spatially random in general, which means that half of the scattering information is lost. Here, we propose dual-polarization AOPC for focusing light through scattering media to improve the efficiency and fidelity in the phase conjugation. The motivations of the dual-polarization AOPC are illustrated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, and then an experimental system is established to realize the dual-polarization AOPC. By separating and rotating the two orthogonal polarization components of the randomly polarized scattered light, light in all polarization states is recorded and phase-conjugated using the same PRC. Experimental results for focusing through a thick biological tissue show that the intensity of the time-reversed focus from the dual-polarization AOPC can be enhanced by a factor of approximate four compared with the existing single-polarization AOPC.

However, no existing physical models explain the impact of the various factors on the focusing performance inside a dynamic scattering medium. Here, we establish an angular- spectrum model to trace the field propagation during the entire optical phase conjugation process in the presence of scattering media. By incorporating fast decorrelation components, the model enables us to investigate the com- petition between the guide star and fast tissue motions for photon tagging. Other factors affecting the focusing performance are also analyzed via the model. As a proof of concept, we experimentally verify our model in the case of focusing light through dynamic scattering media. This angular-spectrum model allows analysis of a series of scattering events in highly scattering media and benefits related applications.

Abstract
Focused and controllable optical delivery beyond the optical diffusion limit in biological tissue has been desired for long yet considered challenging. Digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC) has been proven promising to tackle this challenge. Its broad applications, however, have been hindered by the system’s complexity and rigorous requirements, such as the optical beam quality, the pixel match between the wavefront sensor and wavefront modulator, as well as the flatness of the modulator’s active region. In this paper, we present a plain yet reliable DOPC setup with an embedded four-phase, non-iterative approach that can rapidly compensate for the wavefront modulator’s surface curvature, together with a non-phase-shifting in-line holography method for optical phase conjugation in the absence of an electro-optic modulator (EOM). In experiment, with the proposed setup the peak-to-background ratio (PBR) of optical focusing through a standard ground glass in experiment can be improved from 460 up to 23,000, while the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the focal spot can be reduced from 50 down to 10 μm. The focusing efficiency, as measured by the value of PBR, reaches nearly 56.5% of the theoretical value. Such a plain yet efficient implementation, if further engineered, may potentially boost DOPC suitable for broader applications.

Abstract
An ultra-long light needle is highly desired in optical microscopy for its ability to improve the lateral resolution over a large depth of field (DOF). However, its use in image acquisition usually relies on mechanical raster scanning, which compromises between imaging speed and stability and thereby restricts imaging performance. Here, we propose a synthetic Bessel light needle (SBLN) that can be generated and scanned digitally by complex field modulation using a digital micromirror device. In particular, the SBLN achieves a 45-fold improvement in DOF over its counterpart Gaussian focus. Further, we apply the SBLN to perform motionless two-dimensional and three-dimensional microscopic imaging, achieving both improved resolution and extended DOF. Our work is expected to open up opportunities for potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC) enables many optical applications by permitting focusing of light through scattering media. However, DOPC systems require precise alignment of all optical components, particularly of the spatial light modulator (SLM) and camera, in order to accurately record the wavefront and perform playback through the use of time-reversal symmetry. We present a digital compensation technique to optimize the alignment of the SLM in five degrees of freedom, permitting focusing through thick scattering media with a thickness of 5 mm and transport scattering coefficient of 2.5 mm - 1 while simultaneously improving focal quality, as quantified by the peak-to-background ratio, by several orders of magnitude over an unoptimized alignment.

Abstract
Imaging through scattering media has been one of the main challenges in optics, and are encountered in many different disciplines of sciences, ranging from biology, mesoscopic physics to astronomy. Recently, various methods have been proposed. In this manuscript, we propose a robust method for imaging through scattering media in a reflective geometry, a scenario widely encountered in non-invasive and marker-free biological imaging. The proposed method relies on the a priori information of a known reference object in the neighborhood of the target, and uses it as an auxiliary to reconstruct the target image. We show that the target image can be analytically reconstructed from the autocorrelation of the recorded speckle if the reference is point-like, otherwise, deconvolution with the reference speckle should be performed. We experimentally demonstrate the proposed method in a proof-of-concept system with an LED illumination through a thick ground glass.
