Arbitrary vector spatiotemporal beamshaping: simultaneous control of amplitude, phase and polarization at any delay
We present a new class of beam shaper, capable of generating arbitrary vector spatiotemporal beams, where we can define the amplitude, phase, and polarization independently for each point in space and time. This device was recently used to showcase time reversed optical waves. Such waves propagate through complex photonics media, from a seemingly random-like ‘pre-scattered’ wave, which then becomes the desired target field after propagation through the complex media. Such device opens new opportunities for the study of complex light-matter interactions, optical communications and imaging in depth through complex materials.
