  • Abstract
    The pseudospectral time-domain (PSTD) technique is employed to accurately simulate the optical phase conjugation (OPC) refocusing phenomenon of light propagating through a macroscopic scattering medium. The effect of medium thickness is analyzed by means of numerical solutions of Maxwell´s equations. Simulation findings show that the OPC refocused light width is insensitive to optical thickness.
