Light
passing through a turbid media is scattered and absorbed, thereby reducing
the quality of an image formed by light emerging from the turbid media. For
example, light passing through sea water is scattered, diffused and absorbed
by particles within the sea water. By
controlling properties of the light beam entering the turbid media, the
signal strength of the light after the turbid media is increased. After the
light has passed through the turbid media, it is detected by a sensor and
processed to generate an image of objects within the turbid media. By
altering the characteristics of the light source such that propagation of the
generated light beam through the turbid media is maximized, increased signal
to noise ratio is achieved at the sensor. This
imaging technique has many diverse applications. For example, it may be used
within the aviation industry for imaging objects within clouds, the defense
industry for identifying objects within smoky environments, the marine
industry for imaging objects within sea water, the medical industry for
imaging objects within flesh, etc. This
technology is claimed in a pending patent application. We are seeking an
industrial partner interested in its commercialization. (Ref:
