APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IRRADIATING A MEDIUM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first irradiating unit, including an electromagnetic wave source which emits an electromagnetic wave, to irradiate a medium with the electromagnetic wave which is scattered in the medium;
an ultrasound device which transmits an ultrasonic wave to the medium to modulate a frequency of the electromagnetic wave at a position in the medium; and
a second irradiating unit to irradiate a holographic material with a reference wave to record information corresponding to an interference pattern generated by interference between the modulated electromagnetic wave and the reference wave,wherein the first irradiating unit, after the information is recorded on the holographic material, is configured to irradiate the holographic material so that the holographic material generates a reconstructed wave which irradiates the medium at the position in the medium.

Abstract
A method for irradiating a medium includes irradiating the medium with an electromagnetic wave which is scattered in the medium and modulated in frequency at a position in the medium; obtaining information corresponding to an interference pattern generated by interference between the modulated electromagnetic wave and a reference wave; and generating a phase conjugate wave, based on the obtained information, which irradiates the medium.
