High-speed focal modulation microscopy using acousto-optical modulators
Focal Modulation Microscopy (FMM) is a single-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy technique which effectively rejects the out-of-focus fluorescence background that arises when imaging deep inside biological tissues. Here, we report on the implementation of FMM in which laser intensity modulation at the focal plane is achieved using acousto-optic modulators (AOM). The modulation speed is g...
متن کاملNondestructive spatial heterodyne imaging of cold atoms.
We demonstrate a new method for nondestructive imaging of laser-cooled atoms. This spatial heterodyne technique forms a phase image by interfering a strong reference laser beam with a weak probe beam that passes through the cold atom cloud. The figure of merit equals or exceeds that of phase-contrast imaging, and the technique can be used over a wider range of spatial scales. We show images of ...
متن کاملHigh-speed acousto-optic shutter with no optical frequency shift.
Acousto-optic modulators are widely used for rapid switching and shuttering of laser beams. In many applications, the concomitant frequency shift is undesirable and must be compensated for elsewhere in the system. Here we present a simple method of achieving rapid laser power switching without an accompanying laser frequency shift. The demonstrated acousto-optic shutter achieves a switching tim...
متن کاملOptoelectronic Tweezers – Optical Manipulation using LEDs and Spatial Light Modulators
1. Introduction Optical manipulation of biological cells in microfluidic devices is a powerful technique for high-throughput cell-based assays. It offers several advantages compared with other techniques: it is non-invasive, contamination free , and needs no or minimum fabrication for the mi-crofluidic devices. The most well-known optical manipulation tool is optical tweezers [1, 2]. To achieve...
متن کاملDemonstration of polarization-insensitive spatial light modulation using a single polarization-sensitive spatial light modulator
We present a simple configuration incorporating a single polarization-sensitive phase-only liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) to facilitate polarization-insensitive spatial light modulation. The polarization-insensitive configuration is formed by a polarization beam splitter (PBS), a polarization-sensitive phase-only LC-SLM, a half-wave plate (HWP), and a mirror in a loop structure...
