The results of experiments in developing a method for extracting three-dimensional information from a scene by means of a polarimetric passive imaging sensor are summarized. This sensor provides a full Stokes vector at each sensor pixel location from which degree and angle of linear polarization are computed. The angle of linear polarization provides the azimuth angle of the surface normal vect...

The surface alignment of lyotropic chromonic liquid crystals can not only be planar (tangential) but also homeotropic, with self-assembled aggregates perpendicular to the substrate, as demonstrated by mapping optical retardation and by three-dimensional imaging of the director field. With time, the homeotropic nematic undergoes a transition into a tangential state. The anchoring transition is d...

Since the introduction of medical ultrasound in the 1950s, modern diagnostic ultrasound has progressed to see many major diagnostic tools come into widespread clinical use, such as B-mode imaging, color-flow imaging, and spectral Doppler. New applications, such as panoramic imaging, three-dimensional imaging, and quantitative imaging, are now beginning to be offered on some commercial ultrasoun...

Introduction: The present study aims to evaluate the Three-Dimensional Diffusion-Weighted reversed fast imaging with steady state free precession (3D DW-PSIF) sequence with respect to imaging of the peripheral nerves; the tibial, medial, and lateral plantar nerves in the lower extremity, ulnar and median nerve in the upper extremity, sciatic nerve, brachial plexus, and lumbosacral plexus, and a...

We developed two-photon scanning patterned illumination microscopy (2P-SPIM) for super-resolution two-photon imaging. Our approach used a traditional two-photon microscopy setup with temporally modulated excitation to create patterned illumination fields. Combing nine different illuminations and structured illumination reconstruction, super-resolution imaging was achieved in two-photon microsco...

We present a method to directly image fluorescent structures inside turbid media. This is based on wave-front shaping to optimize the scattered light onto a single fluorescent particle, as the optical memory effect for a scanning image of the surroundings of this particle. We show that iterating the optimization leads to the focusing on a single particle whose surroundings are subsequently scan...

Optical impulse-response characterization of diffusive media can be of importance in various applications, among them optical imaging in the security and medical fields. We present results of an experimental technique that we developed for acquiring the impulse response, based upon the Kramers-Kronig algorithm, and have been applied for optical imaging of objects hidden behind clothing. We demo...

Simultaneous EEG/fMRI recordings offer a unique approach of characterizing epileptic brain activity. The combination of high temporal resolution of EEG recordings and high spatial resolution of fMRI add to enhance the localization of rapidly fluctuating epileptic sources in the brain parenchyma. Scalp EEG/fMRI is a non-invasive, safe and reproducible brain imaging technique and is increasingly ...

As a revolutionary three-dimensional imaging technique, holography has attracted wide attention for its ability to photographically record a light field. However, traditional phase-only or amplitude-only modulation holograms have limited image quality and resolution to reappear both amplitude and phase information required of the objects. Recent advances in metasurfaces have shown tremendous op...

The radiographic image is the bidimensional projection of a tridimensional volume. Interpretation of such an image is sometimes uneasy as we cannot determine ot which level the shadows are located. To dissociate the superimposed shadows, the radiologist may rely on different techniques including fluoroscopy, profile view, radiosteoroscopy, conventional tomography, transverse axial tomography or...
