Abstract
Second-harmonic cross-correlation is used to selectively detect the weak co ntribution remaining coherent with the incident field among the randomly de -phased contributions to an optical field that propagated through a scatter ing medium. It is shown to allow detection of opaque (reflecting) objects i mmersed in (located beyond) highly turbid media.
