The invention provides a programmable optical component based on a scattering medium, an optical field regulation system, and an optical field regulation method, and solves technical problems that a conventional optical component has single function, is high in optical wave modulation cost, has complex apparatus and low integration degree. The system in the invention is successively provided with a light source beam expanding module, a modulation module, a scattering medium microscopic module and a detection module, a data processing module arranged between the modulation module and the detection module. A computer circularly controls a space light modulator to modulate an input optical field, and a detector detects an output optical field; then data shaping is carried out and an optical transmission matrix of the scattering medium is detected; and then a programmable optical component is constructed so as to achieve optical field regulation with methods such as optical phase conjugation, phase retrieval, speckle reconstruction and the like, wherein the optical field regulation includes imaging, chromatic dispersion, abnormal chromatic dispersion, focusing, shaping, etc. The programmable optical component and the system are intelligent, multi-functional, low-cost, easy to operate, highly integrated and strong in operability, and can be applied to the scientific research fields such as military science, bio-medicines, integrated optic, nano photonics, etc.
