Genetic algorithm optimization for focusing through turbid media in noisy environments

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: We introduce genetic algorithms (GA) for wavefront control to focus light through highly scattering media. We theoretically and experimentally compare GAs to existing phase control algorithms and show that GAs are particularly advantageous in low signal-to-noise environments.
