Method and Apparatus for Optical Time Reversal by Ultrasonic Encoding in Biological Tissue
An, Woo Jin ; Wang, Lihong
T-010123

— Background: Optical imaging through a highly scattering medium, such as biological tissue, has been stymied by the loss of optical focusing inside such a medium. Current optical imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography, image up to approximately one optical transport mean free path…

Photon tunneling

T-012515

— Photon tunneling has the potential to guide light to the core of a human body in vivo. Imaging, sensing, and therapy are among the applications for this technology. Light, as opposed to potentially harmful x-rays, is an ideal non-ionizing radiation for imaging and treating biological tissue, however…
