Distortion matrix concept for deep imaging in optical coherence tomography

In optical imaging, light propagation is affected by the medium inhomogeneities. Adaptive optics has been employed to compensate for sample-induced aberrations but the field-of-view is often limited to a single isoplanatic patch. Here, we propose a noninvasive approach based on the distortion matrix concept. This matrix basically connects any focusing point with the distorted part of its wave-fron...
