Researchers have developed a method to improve the resolution of a conventional wide-field optical microscope. Scattered light usually reduces the resolution of conventional optical microscopes. The ...

Light scattering in random and anisotropic media encompasses a broad spectrum of phenomena where the propagation of electromagnetic waves is altered by structural disorder and directional dependencies ...

The concept of the laser can be time-reversed: the perfect light source then becomes the perfect light absorber. Scientists at TU Wien have found a way to build such an anti-laser, based on random ...

This paper is concerned with the direct and inverse random source scattering problems for elastic waves, where the source is assumed to be driven by an additive white noise. Given the source, the ...

For decades, imaging weakly scattering phase objects, such as cells, has been an active area of research across various fields, including biomedical sciences. One common approach uses chemical stains ...

The first ever random laser that uses liquid crystals to tune its emission has been developed by researchers at the University of Florence, Italy (Nature 414 708). In a random laser, multiple random ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 46, No. 3 (Jun., 1986), pp. 464-482 (19 pages) The interplay of random scattering and total internal reflection is studied in the context of an idealized ...
