Modeling for imaging
R/T correlations and Blind Ghost Imaging
An important part of the theme’s activities concerned the study of long-range speckle correlations. This has led to major results from both fundamental and applied points of view. A collaboration with a team at Exeter enabled us to demonstrate robust correlations between reflected and transmitted speckles from disordered media [1], which was subsequently used to demonstrate a new deep imaging technique (a few transport mean-free paths), named “bling ghost imaging” [2]. At the same time, we established from a theoretical point of view how much information it is possible to acquire about the transmitted signal by processing only the reflected one [3].
