Laser beam focusing through the dense multiple scattering suspension using bimorph mirror

The ability to focus laser beam with wavelength 0.65 um through the multiply scattering suspension of polystyrene microspheres, diluted in distilled water, was investigated. Experimental setup, contained the Shack-Hartmann sensor for measurements of the local slopes of the Poynting vector, the CCD camera for estimation of the far-field focal spot’s intensity and the bimorph mirror with 48 electrodes was built. Numerical and experimental investigations of focusing efficiency was carried out also.
