Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy: Vectorial Computed Imaging from Optical Coherence Tomography Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy (ISAM) obviates the trade-off between depth-of-focus and resolution in interferometric coherence imaging. In this work, ISAM’s quantitative image reconstruction techniques are applied in a vectorial setting, thus admitting polarization-sensitive imaging. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (100.3190) Inverse Problems; (100.6890) Three-dimensional Image Processing; (170.1650) Coherence Imaging; (170.4500) Optical Coherence Tomography; (110.6880) Three-dimensional Image Acquisition; (180.3170) Interference Microscopy; (120.5410) Polarimetry.

Nonparaxial vector-field modeling of optical coherence tomography and interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy.
A large-aperture, electromagnetic model for coherent microscopy is presented and the inverse scattering problem is solved. Approximations to the model are developed for near-focus and far-from-focus operations. These approximations result in an image-reconstruction algorithm consistent with interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy (ISAM): this validates ISAM processing of optical-coherence...
متن کاملInterferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy: Computed Imaging for Scanned Coherent Microscopy
Three-dimensional image formation in microscopy is greatly enhanced by the use of computed imaging techniques. In particular, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Microscopy (ISAM) allows the removal of out-of-focus blur in broadband, coherent microscopy. Earlier methods, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), utilize interferometric ranging, but do not apply computed imaging methods and the...
متن کاملComputed optical interferometric tomography for high-speed volumetric cellular imaging.
Three-dimensional high-resolution imaging methods are important for cellular-level research. Optical coherence microscopy (OCM) is a low-coherence-based interferometry technology for cellular imaging with both high axial and lateral resolution. Using a high-numerical-aperture objective, OCM normally has a shallow depth of field and requires scanning the focus through the entire region of intere...
متن کاملAutocorrelation artifacts in optical coherence tomography and interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy.
Interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy processing of optical coherence tomography data has been shown to allow computational focusing of en face planes that have traditionally been regarded as out of focus. It is shown that this focusing of the image also produces a defocusing effect in autocorrelation artifacts resulting from Fourier-domain data collection. This effect is verified exper...
