Selecting optical patterns with spatial phase modulation.
Optical pattern selection by use of spatial phase modulation is investigated experimentally in a photorefractive feedback system. A feedback mirror with spatially periodic phase modulation is used for selection of different spatial patterns. Local phase modulation is used to create patterns with coexisting spatial symmetries. The experimental results are consistent with numerical simulations ba...
متن کاملProgress of MEMS Scanning Micromirrors for Optical Bio-Imaging
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have an unmatched ability to incorporate numerous functionalities into ultra-compact devices, and due to their versatility and miniaturization, MEMS have become an important cornerstone in biomedical and endoscopic imaging research. To incorporate MEMS into such applications, it is critical to understand underlying architectures involving choices in actuati...
متن کاملSelf-Phase Modulation in Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
This paper presents a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the impact of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on self-phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). A theoretical model of pulse propagation in SOAs is developed that includes the ASE power and its effect on gainsaturation and gain-recovery. We study the impact of ASE on the nonlinear phase shift, frequency...
متن کاملImaging with two-axis micromirrors
We demonstrate a means of creating a digital image by using a two axis tilt micromirror to scan a scene. For each different orientation we extract a single grayscale value from the mirror and combine them to form a single composite image. This allows one to choose the distribution of the samples, and so in principle a variable resolution image could be created. We demonstrate this ability to co...
متن کاملPolarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography using continuous polarization modulation with arbitrary phase modulation amplitude.
We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that the phase retardance and relative optic-axis orientation of a sample can be calculated without prior knowledge of the actual value of the phase modulation amplitude when using a polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography system based on continuous polarization modulation (CPM-PS-OCT). We also demonstrate that the sample Jones matrix ...
