Abstract

A previously described ensemble-averaged imaging method [Opt. Lett. 21, 1691 (1996)] is extended by its combination with holographically implemented time-gated imaging. This combined method is shown to extend the effectiveness of the ensemble-averaged method by permitting imaging through thicker diffusers. Experimental results are presented.
