Spectral speckle-correlation imaging

We present a method for single-shot spectrally resolved imaging through scattering media by using the spectral memory effect of speckles. In our method, a single speckle pattern from a multi-colored object is captured through scattering media with a monochrome image sensor. The color object is recovered by correlation of the captured speckle and a three-dimensional phase retrieval process. The proposed method was experimentally demonstrated by using point sources with different emission spectra located between diffusers. This study paves the way for non-invasive and low-cost spectral imaging through scattering media.
