Light fields in complex media: Mesoscopic scattering meets wave control

Wave front shaping, the ability to manipulate light fields both spatially and temporally, in complex media is an emerging field with many applications. This review summarizes how insights from mesoscopic scattering theory have direct relevance for optical wave control experiments and vice versa. The results are expected to have an impact on a number of fields ranging from biomedical imaging to nanophotonics, quantum information, and communication technology.
