Random lasers and scattering media

Random lasers and scattering media is a research topic within Acoustics and Ultrasonics. Science Explorer counts 11k research works in it since 1951. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers explores the control and manipulation of light waves in complex and disordered media, including random lasers, ghost imaging, Anderson localization, wavefront shaping, and single-pixel imaging. It investigates techniques for focusing coherent light through opaque and strongly scattering materials, as well as non-invasive imaging through scattering layers and around corners via speckle correlations.
