Agora20120509--waves in complex media

Agora is a paper discussion session of our group.
This week, I will chair the discussion for the review paper of A. Mosk '

Controlling waves in space and time for imaging and focusing in complex media'. 

Based on the wave equation given above and Maxwell equations, if the material is non-absorbing and reciprocal, then the wave exhibit time reversal symmetry, due to this symmetry, a wave that propagating outwards can thus be back-propagated to the exact starting. 
It is due to the development of Spatial Light Modulator(SLM) that now one can control the field at optical frequency at a much simple and fast way, even for strongly scattering medium.  
Our Agora session of this month ended on May 23th, 2012. A summary of the discussion have been given in Agora_may2012. If people are interested in, you can have a look.
