Turbidity Suppression by Optical Phase Conjugation in Biological Media

Optical phase conjugation refers to a phenomenon by which a light field can be made to back propagate. A light field ‘reflects’ from a phase conjugate mirror (PCM) in such a way that the spatial amplitude variations are preserved but the signs of the phase variations are reversedOur current research is focused on developing a robust biophotonic tool based on TSOPC. We aim at using this method for a variety of biomedical applications, such as tissue density heterogeneity determination, and photodynamic therapy.
