Imaging techniques for comprehensive understanding of scattering and fluctuation fields

Abstract

Scattering and fluctuation phenomena arise in various fields, from microscopic life activities on the nanometer scale to atmospheric fluctuations on the kilometer one. Understanding and overcoming these phenomena will facilitate breakthroughs in various academic fields, including life sciences, preventive medicine, information and communication engineering, and astronomy. This review article presents an overview of the imaging techniques applied to scattering and fluctuating fields, as part of a new approach that visualizes information inside or beyond scattering media or fluctuating fields by eliminating the effects of scattering and fluctuating fields. More specifically, we introduce imaging techniques to visualize the inside of scattering media and light propagation behaviors in scattering media, to facilitate modeling.
