When light gets deflected by a disordered structure it becomes difficult to estimate where the target is located. In this new study a procedure is presented that allows one to reach the optimal estimation precision in such challenging scenarios.
When light gets deflected by a disordered structure it becomes difficult to estimate where the target is located. In this new study a procedure is presented that allows one to reach the optimal estimation precision in such challenging scenarios. How do you measure objects that you can't see under normal circumstances? Utrecht University and TU Wien (Vienna) open up new possibilities with special light waves. Laser beams can be used to precisely measure an object's position or velocity. Normally, however, a clear, unobstructed view of this object is required - and this prerequisite is not always satisfied. In biomedicine, for example, structures are examined, which are embedded in an irregular, complicated environment. There, the laser beam is deflected, scattered and refracted, often making it impossible to obtain useful data from the measurement.
