Animation of how a scattered wavefront changes into a focus when the incident phases are properly adjusted.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Light passing through a disordered medium is scrambled into a speckle pattern. But by phase delaying parts of the incident wave (i.e. "shaping" the wavefront) we can reconstruct a pretty good focus by having all the scattered waved to interfere constructively at a given point.
