- This paper demonstrates how dynamic focusing can be accelerated by 7 orders of magnitude from about one millisecond to tens of picoseconds. It advances coherent control of light with light from two spatial dimensions (images) to three spatial dimensions (wavefronts and light localization in space). The demonstrated wavefront shaping methods underpin a funded £6M EPSRC grant starting in 2021 (”Next Generation Metrology Driven by Nanophotonics”). The reported research led to a plenary, a keynote and an invited talk at international conferences (International Conference on Quantum & Nonlinear Optics 2018, PIERS 2018, CLEO 2018).
