Abstract

The combination of scattering media with spatial light modulators has paved the way to imaging around corners [1] and beyond diffuse media as well as focusing light below the diffraction limit (see ref [2] and refs therein). Here we present for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, experimental results on focusing laterally through a scattering medium. We investigate quantitatively the focal spot by measuring the focal width and the geometrical depth of focus (DOF) for both transversal and lateral scattering lens configurations.
