Methods and systems for shaping an electromagnetic wavefront are disclosed. A disclosed method includes tuning a tunable surface in an electromagnetic cavity and receiving the electromagnetic wavefront in the electromagnetic cavity. The electromagnetic wavefront includes a first wave defined by a first wavelength and a second wave defined by a second wavelength. The first wave and the second wave have a shared phase and a shared beam direction in the electromagnetic wavefront. The method further includes reflecting the electromagnetic wavefront within the cavity to repeatedly interact with the tunable surface, and transmitting, after reflecting the electromagnetic wavefront within the cavity, the electromagnetic wavefront from the electromagnetic cavity as a shaped electromagnetic wavefront. The first wave and the second wave have at least one of a difference in phase or a difference in beam direction in the shaped electromagnetic wavefront.

Multi-beam and multi-polarization electromagnetic wavefront shaping

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 (); a step of determining a first distortion matrix (D, D) 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 (R) 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.
