Navigating stable light fields through moving complex scattering media

The scattering of light distorts imaging through opaque materials. A technique called wavefront shaping enables complicated scattering effects to be characterised and subsequently cancelled out - as long as the turbid sample stays static. Here we study light control through dynamic complex media. We concentrate on a particular class of time-varying scattering media: partially moving scattering systems, which possess time-varying local regions embedded at unknown locations throughout a static matrix. We present both theoretical and experimental results demonstrating the navigation of light around moving parts of a scattering medium. These techniques may find use in future deep-tissue imaging and atmospheric optical communication scenarios.
