Focusing light deep inside living tissue has not been achieved despite its promise to play a central role in biomedical imaging, optical manipulation and therapy. To address this challenge, internal-guide-star-based wavefront engineering techniques—for example, time-reversed ultrasonically encoded (TRUE) focusing—were developed. The speeds of these techniques, however, were limited no greater than 1 Hz, preventing them from vivo applications. Here we improve the speed focusing scattering...

Abstract Artificial intelligence has gained significant attention for exploiting optical scattering encryption. Conventional media are inevitably influenced by instability or perturbations, and hence unsuitable long-term scenarios. Additionally, the plaintext can be easily compromised due to single channel within medium one-to-one mapping between input output. To mitigate these issues, a stable spin-multiplexing disordered metasurface (DM) with numerous polarized transmission channels serves...
