摘要: Optical memory effect-based speckle-correlated technology has been developed for reconstructing hidden objects from disordered speckle patterns, achieving imaging through scattering layers. However, the lighting efficiency and field of view of existing speckle-correlated imaging systems are limited. Here, a near-infrared low spatial coherence fiber random laser illumination method is proposed to address the above limitations. Through the utilization of random Rayleigh scattering within dispersion-shifted fibers to provide feedback, coupled with stimulated Raman scattering for amplification, a near-infrared fiber random laser exhibiting a high spectral density and extremely low spatial coherence is generated. Based on the designed fiber random laser, speckle-correlated imaging through scattering layers is achieved, with high lighting efficiency and a large imaging field of view. This work improves the performance of speckle-correlated imaging and enriches the research on imaging through scattering medium.
