Wide-field Low Coherence Interference Microscopy for Quantitative Imaging of Biological and Industrial Objects

Spectral self-interference microscopy for low-signal nanoscale axial imaging.

A theoretical and numerical analysis of spectral self-interference microscopy (SSM) is presented with the goal of expanding the realm of SSM applications. In particular, this work is intended to enable SSM imaging in low-signal applications such as single-molecule studies. A comprehensive electromagnetic model for SSM is presented, allowing arbitrary forms of the excitation field, detection opt...

»Bildanalyse und Mustererkennung Kaiserslautern« (BAMEK) lädt ein zu den Vorträgen von Low-coherence interferometric (LCI) imaging represents a well-established technique in the field of profilometry. White light interferometers find their usage in the daily routine for 3D inspection of components, enabling the survey of sample surfaces in the micron-range. By combining LCI technique with coher...

Leakage radiation interference microscopy.

We present a proof of principle for a new imaging technique combining leakage radiation microscopy with high-resolution interference microscopy. By using oil immersion optics it is demonstrated that amplitude and phase can be retrieved from optical fields, which are evanescent in air. This technique is illustratively applied for mapping a surface mode propagating onto a planar dielectric multil...

Interference due to Coherence Swapping

We propose a method called “coherence swapping” which enables us to create superposition of a particle in two distinct paths, which is fed with initially incoherent, independent radiation. This phenomenon is also present for the charged particles, and can be used to swap the effect of flux line due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We propose an optical version of experimental setup to test the cohe...
