METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR THE NON-INVASIVE OPTICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A HETEROGENEOUS MEDIUM

The present invention relates to a method for the non-invasive optical characterization of a heterogeneous medium, comprising: a step of illuminating, by means of a series of incident light waves, a given field of view of the heterogeneous medium, positioned in a focal plane of a microscope objective (30); a step of determining a first distortion matrix (Dur, Drr) in an observation basis defined between a conjugate plane of the focal plane (FP) and an observation plane, said first distortion matrix corresponding, in a correction basis defined between a conjugate plane of the focal plane and an aberration correction plane, to the term-by-term matrix product of a first reflection matrix (Rur) of the field of view, determined in the correction basis, with the phase conjugate matrix of a reference reflection matrix, defined for a model medium, in said correction basis; and a step of determining, from the first distortion matrix, at least one mapping of a physical parameter of the heterogeneous medium.
