Abstract

We numerically model the influence of absorption on wavefront-shaping controlled reflection from absorbing disordered media and provide experimental verification of our model. We find that absorption modifies the reflection eigenvalue density, the average reflectance, and the reflection matrix element density. However, we also find that despite these effects, the efficiency of wavefront-shaping controlled reflection is invariant with absorption.
