Abstract

Self-reconstruction refers to an ability of certain fully coherent optical beams to recover their spatial profiles after scattering by obstacles. In this communication, we extend the self-reconstruction concept to partially coherent beams. We show theoretically and verify experimentally that any partially coherent beam can self-reconstruct its intensity profile and state of polarization upon scattering from an opaque obstacle provided the beam coherence area is reduced well below the obstacle area. We stress that our self-reconstruction technique is independent of the obstacle shape and it is scalable to the case of multiple obstacles or even of inhomogeneous media as long as a characteristic obstacle area or a medium inhomogeneity scale is well in excess of the beam coherence area or length, respectively. We anticipate the technique to be instrumental in applications ranging from beam shaping to image transfer and trapped particle manipulation in turbid media.

Fig. 1 Qualitative illustration of nearly incoherent beam scattering by an obstacle. Nearly incoherent beam of diameter σI and coherence length σc has a specular structure with each speckle beamlet having the spot size equal to the beam coherence length. The obstacle is modeled by a circular aperture of width σa.
