The ability to control the propagation of light through scattering media is essential for atmospheric optics, astronomy, biomedical imaging, and remote sensing. The optimization of focusing light through a scattering medium is of particular interest for the case of highly scattering materials. Optical wavefront beam-shaping plays a critical role in optimizing such a propagation; however, an enormous field of adjustable parameters makes the overall task complicated. Here, we propose and experimentally evaluate several variations on the standard continuous sequential algorithm (CSA) that hold a promise of revealing new, faster, and more efficient optimization algorithms for selecting an optical wavefront to focus light through a scattering medium. We demonstrate that the order in which pixels are chosen in the CSA can lead to a two-fold decrease in the number of iterations required to reach a given enhancement.

使用连续序列算法优化通过散射介质聚焦

控制光通过散射介质传播的能力对于大气光学、天文学、生物医学成像和遥感至关重要。对于高散射材料的情况，优化通过散射介质聚焦光是特别重要的。光学波前光束整形在优化这种传播中起着至关重要的作用。然而，巨大的可调参数领域使整个任务变得复杂。在这里，我们提出并通过实验评估标准连续序列算法 (CSA) 的几种变体，这些变体有望揭示新的、更快、更有效的优化算法，用于选择光波前以通过散射介质聚焦光。
