We demonstrate a long imaging depth, multi-perspective fluorescence scanning microscopy based on Talbot effect generated from a microlens array. An object with two layers that are 155μm apart was reconstructed from different perspectives. OCIS codes: (110.1758) Computational imaging; (180.2520) Fluorescence microscopy

We demonstrate high dynamic range (HDR) imaging with the Plenoptic 2.0 camera. Multiple exposure capture is achieved with a single shot using microimages created by microlens array that has an interleaved set of different apertures. © 2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (040.1490) Cameras, 110.5200 Photography.

We present a three dimensional (3D) Liquid crystal display (LCD) in a stereoscopic type using the single-polarizer LCD and in-cell patterned retarder. To construct 3D images in single-polarizer LCD with the microlens array, the micro-patterned retarder embedded the LCD generates two orthogonal polarizations.

The first investigations of the response of the microlensing magnification pattern (at an optical depth of order unity) to the mass function of the microlenses found that the resulting statistics depend only on the mean microlens mass 〈m〉. In particular the mean microlensing caustic crossing rate was found to be proportional to

We present a probe-based, phase-referenced low coherence interferometer in which the reference field is provided by a fiber end reflection. A gradient-index microlens focuses light onto a sample and collects reflected light. We use the probe interferometer to measure surface profiles of the compound eye of a housefly (Musca domestica) and measure nanometer-scale vibrations in a test sample.

An adaptive microlens structure is proposed using two polymer-stabilized blue-phase liquid-crystal layers whose Kerr constant is largely mismatched. This device exhibits several favorable features, such as polarization independence, simple structure, and good parabolic phase profile. Its applications for 2D/3D switchable displays and other photonic devices are emphasized.
