wavefront shaping

Wavefront shaping is a technique used to manipulate light waves so they can focus more effectively or create desired patterns. It involves adjusting the phase and amplitude of light waves as they travel, which can improve imaging, enhance optical communication, or enable advanced therapies in medicine. By using devices like spatial light modulators, researchers can control how light interacts with materials, allowing for better clarity in images or more precise delivery of laser energy. This technique finds applications in fields such as microscopy, telecommunications, and even in treating eye disorders.
