In addition to the frequently encountered spatial distortions,
multiple-scattering also randomly distorts the polarization state of the
incident light, and its temporal and spectral characteristics. However,
although multiple-scattering is a random process, it is a deterministic
one and it can be undone. In recent years, high-resolution
wavefront-shaping has emerged as a powerful approach to focus light
through highly scattering, visually opaque samples. Wavefront shaping
using spatial light modulators to modify the input field has been
demonstrated to control and correct not only spatial distortions, but
also temporal, spectral and polarization distortions in random media. I
shall review the growing field of wavefront shaping and describe in
particular schemes for imaging behind scattering layers and for seeing
‘around corners’.
