Exploiting few mode-fibers for optical time-stretch confocal microscopy in the short near-infrared window.
Dispersive fiber is well-regarded as the most viable candidate for realizing efficient optical time-stretch process--an ultrafast spectroscopic measurement technique based on the wavelength-to-time mapping via group velocity dispersion (GVD). Despite optical time-stretch has been anticipated to benefit a wide range of high-throughput biomedical diagnoses, the lack of commercially-available disp...
متن کاملConfocal optical microscopy
Confocal optical microscopy is a technique for increasing the contrast of microscope images, particularly in thick specimens. By restricting the observed volume, the technique keeps overlying or nearby scatterers from contributing to the detected signal. The price for this is that the instrument must observe only one point at a time (in the scanning laser version) or a group of separated points...
متن کاملReflectance confocal microscopy of optical phantoms
A reflectance confocal scanning laser microscope (rCSLM) operating at 488-nm wavelength imaged three types of optical phantoms: (1) 100-nm-dia. polystyrene microspheres in gel at 2% volume fraction, (2) solid polyurethane phantoms (INO Biomimic(TM)), and (3) common reflectance standards (Spectralon(TM)). The noninvasive method measured the exponential decay of reflected signal as the focus (z(f...
متن کاملAsymmetric-detection time-stretch optical microscopy (ATOM) for ultrafast high-contrast cellular imaging in flow
Accelerating imaging speed in optical microscopy is often realized at the expense of image contrast, image resolution, and detection sensitivity--a common predicament for advancing high-speed and high-throughput cellular imaging. We here demonstrate a new imaging approach, called asymmetric-detection time-stretch optical microscopy (ATOM), which can deliver ultrafast label-free high-contrast fl...
متن کاملOptical Data Compression in Time Stretch Imaging
Time stretch imaging offers real-time image acquisition at millions of frames per second and subnanosecond shutter speed, and has enabled detection of rare cancer cells in blood with record throughput and specificity. An unintended consequence of high throughput image acquisition is the massive amount of digital data generated by the instrument. Here we report the first experimental demonstrati...
