Abstract
A strong scattering medium completely scrambles the transmitted wavefront of an incident light beam. However, this is not true for every incident wave: it is possible to find generalized eigenstates of the system, which are waves that are transmitted with the same spatial profile through the sample as through air. Effectively, the material is invisible for these specific waves. We have experimentally generated such waves and propagated them through strongly scattering nanoparticle layers. We find a substantial correlation between waves propagated through the sample and through an equivalent thickness of air.
