Traditional one-way imaging methods become invalid when a target object is completely hidden behind scattering media. In this case, it has been much more challenging, since the light wave is distorted twice.To solve this problem, we propose an imaging method, so-called round-trip imaging, based on the optical transmission matrix of the scattering medium. We show that the object can be recovered directly from the distorted output wave, where no scanning is required during the imaging process. We predict that this method might improve the imaging speed and have potential application for real-time imaging.

A method of fabricating multi-core polymer image fiber is proposed.Image fiber preform is fabricated by stacking thousands of polymer fibers each with a 0.25-mm diameter orderly in a die by only one step.The preform is heated and stretched into image fiber with an outer diameter of 2mm.Then a portable eyewear-style three-dimensional(3D) endoscope system is designed,fabricated,and characterized.This endoscopic system is composed of two graded index lenses,two pieces of 0.35-m length image guide fibers,and a pair of oculars.It shows good ?exibility and portability,and can provide the depth information accordingly.
