Cutting-edge tech creates order from chaos so scientists see the light
“We’ve developed a device to generate a ‘pre-scattered’ wave, and then you put it through the medium and it arrives in exactly the right place and in exactly the right shape.”
A similar technique has already been used with sound waves, with pre-scattered sonic patterns used to break up kidney stones without the need for invasive surgery.
In one of the experiments, the researchers generated a smiley-face image from a pre-scattered beam.
However, this is the first time the process has been achieved using light, with the UQ team working with researchers at Nokia Bell Labs in the United States to create a new device to give them full 3D control of light through an optical fibre.
“It was a great collaboration, and the actual practical…
