Fiber bundles are used in endoscopy for pixelated image transfer. Due to scattering of the effective refractive index, the phase information is lost, however. Digital optical phase conjugation has been used to reverse this effect partially, which enables endoscopes without distal optics and diffraction-limited 3D capability. However, imaging is limited to a single wavelength. We demonstrate multispectral and broadband imaging using spatial light modulators with a phase shift exceeding 2pi. Imaging can be achieved by correcting the sending, receiving or both beam paths, enabling single shot-RGB or confocal fluorescence imaging.
