    Wavefront shaping is used to overcome scattering in biological tissues during imaging, but determining the compensation is slow. Here, the authors use holographic phase stepping interferometry, where new phase information is updated after each measurement, enabling fast improvement of the wavefront correction.

    It is difficult to apply SMLM to complex biological tissues. Here the authors report REALM, Robust and Effective Adaptive Optics in Localisation Microscopy, to improve SMLM in tissue and use this to resolve the organisation of spectrin in the axon initial segment in brain tissue.

    Optical aberrations in Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) can lead to loss of resolution and artifacts making it unsuitable for thick samples. Here the authors combine Adaptive Optics and SIM (AO-3DSIM) to improve the 3D resolution and reduce artifacts, performing 3D-SIM in C.elegans.

    Here, the authors present a high-speed photothermal spatial light modulator which can generate a step-like wavefront change without diffraction artifacts. They use this to perform quantitative phase imaging, capturing sub-millisecond motion with a nanometer resolution in 3D.

    Multidimensional photography has traditionally been restricted by their static optical architectures and measurement schemes. Here, the authors present a tunable multidimensional photography approach employing active optical mapping, which allows them to adapt the acquisition schemes to the scene.

    Adaptive optics wavefront sensors need to be in a pupil plane and are insensitive to certain wavefront-error modes. The authors present a wavefront sensor based on a photonic lantern fibre-mode-converter and deep learning, which can be placed at the same focal plane accessing nondegenerate wavefront information and reconstructing the wavefront.

    Long-range correlations play a role in wave transport through disordered media but have rarely been studied in other systems. Here, the authors discover long-range spatio-temporal correlations in multimode fibers with strong random mode mixing, revealing the possibility of utilizing such correlations for effective pulse delivery through the fiber.

    Anderson localization is a regime where diffusion is inhibited, leading to the localization of waves. Here, Leonetti et al.use wavefront shaping to achieve focusing in disordered optical fibres in the Anderson regime and demonstrate efficient focusing action.

    The precision of frequency combs makes them the ideal tool for applications in areas such as optical metrology. Here, Ideguchi et al. demonstrate real-time spectroscopy with frequency combs where laser instabilities are electronically compensated, and which is based on commercially available components.
