Research Directions
| 1. Novel
imaging technologies based on chaos
|
|
Chaos
often gets a bad reputation in all areas of research and life. In the recent
years, chaos has been used as a powerful tool to develop new imaging
technologies and expand imaging characteristics beyond the conventional limits.
Our research group aims to advance the field of imaging using chaos in
amplitude, phase and polarization.

| 2. Imaging
through scattering media
|
|
Imaging
through scattering media is a challenging task. At University of Tartu, we aim
to develop technologies that enables seeing through scattering layers.
Different approaches are currently being developed including applying special
optical beams that are resilient to scattering as information carriers.
|
| 3. Manufacturing of scattering lenses |
Most
of the holography technologies use active devices such as spatial light
modulators to construct the optical system which is not only expensive but also
makes the system bulky and heavy. At University of Tartu we are manufacturing
passive scattering lenses that can modulate light along multiple dimensions and
can effectively replace active devices which leads to the development of
compact optical instruments.
