Summary: This paper introduces a correspondence imaging approach for reconstructing high-quality objects through complex scattering media. By deriving a rectified theory and introducing temporal correction, the proposed method eliminates the effect of dynamic scaling factors. Experimental results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method over conventional methods in complex scattering environments, and it can also be combined with other methods to further enhance the quality of reconstructed objects.

Summary: In this Letter, a setup design is presented for achieving high-visibility orthonormalized ghost imaging (GI) with self-correction through dynamic and complex scattering media at low sampling ratios. The design incorporates parallel detection to correct the mismatch between illumination patterns and intensity measurements. Moreover, Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization is applied to the corrected intensities and illumination patterns to enable high-visibility GI through dynamic and complex scattering media at low sampling ratios. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed self-correction and orthonormalization methods enable high-visibility and high-efficiency GI through dynamic and complex scattering media at low sampling ratios. This method offers a promising alternative for achieving high-visibility object reconstruction through dynamic and complex scattering media at low sampling ratios, addressing a challenge faced by conventional GI techniques.

Summary: Optical imaging through scattering media is a practical challenge with various applications. This study proposes a bootstrapped imaging method for object reconstruction in complex scattering states, which successfully recovers high-fidelity results through unknown diffusers. The method utilizes speckle reassignment and a data augmentation strategy to overcome the limitations of limited speckle grains. It provides a heuristic reference for practical imaging problems and broadens the possibilities of highly scalable imaging in complex scattering scenes.

Summary: We demonstrate a photon-sensitive, three-dimensional camera using active near-infrared illumination and fast time-of-flight gating. This camera achieves sub-millimeter depth resolution, exceptional noise suppression, and high detection sensitivity by selectively upconverting backscattered photons and photon sensitive detection. This technique may find applications in biomedical imaging, environmental monitoring, and wide-field light detection and ranging.

Summary: An optimized sampling method using a Deep Q-learning Network (DQN) is proposed for single-pixel imaging, treating the sampling process as decision-making to obtain a relatively optimal sampling strategy for OT-SPI. The effectiveness of the method is verified through simulations and experiments, eliminating the influence of imperfect sampling path planning on imaging performance.

Summary: Shaping light deep inside complex media is crucial for various research fields, and controlling light without physical access to the inside of a medium has been a challenge. In this study, a phase conjugation method for spatially incoherent light is presented, enabling non-invasive light control based on incoherent emission from multiple target positions. The method retrieves mutually incoherent scattered fields from speckle patterns and time-reverses scattered fluorescence with digital phase conjugation. Various experimental demonstrations, including focusing light on individual and multiple targets, as well as delivering maximum energy to an extended target through a scattering medium, highlight the potential for controlling light propagation in complex media using incoherent contrasts mechanisms.

Summary: Lensless scattering imaging is a prospective approach to microscopy that reconstructs high-resolution images of objects from measured speckle patterns, providing a solution when imaging optics cannot be used. This study proposes two general approaches that enable single-shot lensless scattering imaging under broadband illumination, with both noninvasive and invasive modes. The methods are experimentally verified using visible radiation and have potential applications in ultrafast science, passive sensing, and biomedical applications.

Summary: In this study, time-resolved imaging of an object in a turbid medium was demonstrated using ultrafast optical Kerr gate (OKG) of liquid carbon disulfide (CS2), improving the visibility and contrast of the image. The delay time between the imaging pulse and gating pulse plays a key role in the efficiency of ultrafast OKG imaging of CS2 through a turbid medium, with a relatively wide delay time range for obtaining high contrast images.
