Full field-of-view multi-targets imaging through scattering beyond 3D optical memory effect

A robust method and strategy for efficient full field-ofview and depth separation optical imaging through scattering media regardless of the three-dimensional (3D) optical memory effect are proposed. In this method, the problem of imaging de-aliasing, decomposition, and separation of speckle patterns are solved taking advantages of the spatial decorrelation characteristics of speckles by employing randomly modulated illumination strategy and independent component analysis methods. Full field-of-view imaging of multi-targets locate at diverse spatial positions behind a scattering layer are realized and observed experimentally, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The method and strategy provide a potentially useful means for incoherent imaging through scattering in a wide class of fields such as optical microscopy, biomedical imaging, and astronomical imaging.
