Computational signal-to-noise ratio analysis for optical quadrature microscopy.
Optical quadrature microscopy (OQM) was invented in 1997 to reconstruct a full-field image of quantitative phase, and has been used to count the number of cells in live mouse embryos. Here we present a thorough SNR analysis that incorporates noise terms for fluctuations in the laser, aberrations within the individual paths of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and imperfections within the beamspl...
متن کاملImaging of arterial plaque by quadrature swept-source optical coherence tomography with signal to noise ratio enhancements
Arterial plaque from a myocardial infarction-prone Watanabe heritable hyperlipidemic (WHHLMI) rabbit is visualized and characterized using a signal to noise ratio enhanced swept-source optical coherence tomography system with a quadrature interferometer (QSS-OCT). A semiconductor optical amplifier is used in the sample arm to amplify the weak signal scattered from arterial plague. Signal to noi...
متن کاملSignal-to-Noise Ratio Estimation
Of the many measures that characterize the performance of a communication receiver, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is perhaps the most fundamental in that many of the other measures directly depend on its knowledge for their evaluation. In the design of receivers for autonomous operation, it is desirable that the estimation of SNR take place with as little known information as possible regarding o...
متن کاملA Novel Restoration Algorithm Based on Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio for Transparent Optical Networks
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to restore calls upon a single failure in transparent optical networks. After a failure, the proposed algorithm performs a path restoration searching for the route which presents the higher optical signal-to-noise ratio. We compared our proposal to three other well known approaches in the literature. We achieved lower failure rates in the restoration ...
متن کاملSignal-to-Signal-to-Noise-Ratio of Full-Field Fourier-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography: Experiment
We report a new approach in optical coherence tomography (OCT) termed full-field Fourier-domain OCT (3F-OCT). A three-dimensional image of a sample is obtained by digital reconstruction of a three-dimensional data cube, acquired using a Fourier holography recording system illuminated with a swept-source. This paper presents theoretical and experimental study of the signal-to-noise ratio of the ...
