Distortion matrix concept for deep imaging in optical coherence microscopy

Résumé

In optical imaging, light propagation is affected by the inhomogeneities of the medium. Sample-induced aberrations and multiple scattering can strongly degrade the image resolution and contrast. Based on a dynamic correction of the incident and/or reflected wave-fronts, adaptive optics has been employed to compensate for those aberrations. However, it mainly applies to spatially-invariant aberrations or to thin aberrating layers. Here, we propose a global and non-invasive approach based on the distortion matrix concept. This matrix basically connects any focusing point of the image with the distorted part of its wave-front in reflection. A time-reversal and entropy analysis of the distortion matrix allows to correct for high-order aberrations and forward multiple scattering over multiple isoplanatic areas. Proof-of-concept experiments are performed through biological tissues and an opaque cornea. We demonstrate a Strehl ratio enhancement up to 2500 and recover a diffraction-limited resolution until a depth of ten scattering mean free paths.
