Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IRRADIATING A SCATTERING MEDIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/080838
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a light source (100) configured to emit an electromagnetic wave; a spatial light modulator (102) configured to modulate a wavefront of the electromagnetic wave to irradiate a sample (105); a plate (107) with an aperture; a lens unit (106) configured to set a focal point in the sample (105); a detector (108) configured to detect light coming from the focal point of the sample (105) through the aperture; and a controller (103) configured to control the spatial light modulator (102) based on the detected light by the detector (108). The lens unit (106) and the aperture in plate (107) form a confocal system.
