Imaging through random media using low-coherence optical heterodyning
Optical heterodyning is a detection scheme that allows the preferential detection of ballistic photons transmitted through a random media, enabling the imaging of absorbing structures within. We introduce a normalized cross-correlation function as a quantitative measure of image quality and employ it to investigate the effect of source coherence length on the ability of optical heterodyning to ...
متن کاملEvaluation of optical arrangements for ballistic imaging in sprays.
This work investigates the imaging performance, in terms of contrast and resolution, of two different time-gated ballistic imaging setups commonly used in spray research. It is shown that the two setups generate similar spatial resolution in the presence of scattering media. The simpler (2f) setup, however, is less sensitive to component misalignments and time-gate induced aberrations than the ...
متن کاملBallistic and snake photon imaging for locating optical endomicroscopy fibres
We demonstrate determination of the location of the distal-end of a fibre-optic device deep in tissue through the imaging of ballistic and snake photons using a time resolved single-photon detector array. The fibre was imaged with centimetre resolution, within clinically relevant settings and models. This technique can overcome the limitations imposed by tissue scattering in optically determini...
متن کاملComplete Two-dimensional Muellermetric Imaging of Biological Tissue Using Heterodyned Optical Coherence Tomography
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is widely used in biological sub-surface imaging due to its non-contact, non-destructive properties and high resolution [1,2,3,4]. Many biological tissues, such as tendon, bone, and tooth, exhibit birefringence because of their linear or fibrous structure, which alters the polarization state of light propagating in them [5,6]. For the purpose of acquiring the ...
متن کاملTime-gated optical system for depth-resolved functional brain imaging.
We present a time-domain optical system for functional imaging of the adult head. We first describe the instrument, which is based on a Ti:Sapphire pulsed laser (wavelength 750-850 nm) and an intensified CCD camera enabling parallel detection of multiple fibers. We characterize the system in terms of sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, instrument response function, cross-talk, stability, and...
