Light scattering limits the penetration depth of non-invasive Raman spectroscopy in biological media. While safe levels of irradiation may be adequate to analyze superficial tissue, scattering of the pump beam reduces the Raman signal to undetectable levels deeper within the tissue. Here we demonstrate how wavefront shaping techniques can significantly increase the Raman signal at depth, while keeping the total irradiance constant, thus increasing the amount of Raman signal available for detection.

We study the three-dimensional (3D) spatially-resolved distribution of the energy density of light in a 3D scattering medium upon the excitation of open transmission channels. The open transmission channels are excited by spatially shaping the incide
nt optical wavefronts. To probe the local energy density, we excite isolated fluorescent nanospheres distributed inside the medium. From the spatial fluorescent intensity pattern we obtain the position of each nanosphere, while the total fluorescent intensity gauges the energy density. Our 3D spatially-resolved measurements reveal that the local energy density versus depth (z) is enhanced up to 26X at the back surface of the medium, while it strongly depends on the transverse (x; y) position. We successfully interpret our results with a newly developed 3D model that considers the time-reversed diffusion starting from a point source at the back surface. Our results are relevant for white LEDs, random lasers, solar cells, and biomedical optics.
We present a minimally-invasive endoscope based on a multimode fiber that combines photoacoustic and fluorescence sensing. From the measurement of a transmission matrix during a prior calibration step, a focused spot is produced and raster-scanned ov
er a sample at the distal tip of the fiber by use of a fast spatial light modulator. An ultra-sensitive fiber-optic ultrasound sensor for photoacoustic detection placed next to the fiber is combined with a photodetector to obtain both fluorescence and photoacoustic images with a distal imaging tip no larger than 250um. The high signal-to-noise ratio provided by wavefront shaping based focusing and the ultra-sensitive ultrasound sensor enables imaging with a single laser shot per pixel, demonstrating fast two-dimensional hybrid imaging of red blood cells and fluorescent beads.
The circular polarization of light scattered by biological tissues provides valuable information and has been considered as a powerful tool for the diagnosis of tumor tissue. We propose a non-staining, non-invasive and in-vivo cancer diagnosis techni
que using an endoscope equipped with circularly polarized light-emitting diodes (spin-LEDs). We studied the scattering process of the circularly polarized light against cell nuclei in pseudo-healthy and cancerous tissues using the existing Monte Carlo method. The calculation results indicate that the resultant circular polarizations of light scattered in pseudo tissues shows clear difference in a wide range of detection angle, and the sampling depth depends on those detection angles. The structure of the endoscope probe comprising spin-LEDs is designed based on the calculation results, providing structural and depth information regarding biological tissues simultaneously.
Photonic devices rarely provide both elaborate spatial control and sharp spectral control over an incoming wavefront. In optical metasurfaces, for example, the localized modes of individual meta-units govern the wavefront shape over a broad bandwidth
, while nonlocal lattice modes extended over many meta-units support high quality-factor resonances. We experimentally demonstrate dielectric metasurfaces that offer both spatial and spectral control of light, realizing a metalens focusing light only over a narrowband resonance while leaving off-resonant frequencies unaffected. Our devices realize such functionality by supporting a quasi-bound state in the continuum encoded with a spatially varying geometric phase. We also show that our resonant metasurfaces can be cascaded to realize hyperspectral wavefront shaping, which may prove useful for augmented reality glasses, transparent displays and high-capacity optical communications.
Converting spin angular momentum to orbital angular momentum has been shown to be a practical and efficient method for generating optical beams carrying orbital angular momentum and possessing a space-varying polarized field. Here, we present novel l
iquid crystal devices for tailoring the wavefront of optical beams through the Pancharatnam-Berry phase concept. We demonstrate the versatility of these devices by generating an extensive range of optical beams such as beams carrying $pm200$ units of orbital angular momentum along with Bessel, Airy and Ince-Gauss beams. We characterize both the phase and the polarization properties of the generated beams, confirming our devices performance.
