基于运动轨迹可调式随机相位板的赝热光鬼成像实验研究

为了保证采样的独立性,目前基于随机相位板的赝热光鬼成像系统是以每次移动不小于一个激光光斑大小进行相位调制的形式来产生高亮度的赝热光源。通过旋转、平移两台电机控制随机相位板的运动轨迹,搭建了一种运动轨迹可调的随机相位板赝热光鬼成像实验平台。基于差分鬼成像和稀疏约束鬼成像重构算法,从实验角度对比分析了随机相位板的偏移量Δx对赝热光鬼成像质量的影响。数值模拟和实验结果均表明,在相同的采样压缩比下,当随机相位板的偏移量Δx不大于物面处的散斑大小Δxs时,成像质量随着Δx的增大而提高;而当Δx大于Δxs时,随着Δx的增大,成像质量几乎不变。此外,稀疏约束鬼成像质量优于相同采样数下的差分鬼成像质量。     

非均匀光强分布的反射式水下量子成像研究

在量子成像中,光源散斑强度的独立性与随机性影响了图像重建的质量,现用的赝热光源是由高斯分布的激光束调制而成。针对反射式量子成像技术中赝热光源的传输特性,结合水体散射理论,研究了重建图像的均方误差与光源光斑强度分布和光斑尺寸的关系,以及对常用的图像重建算法成像质量的影响,针对光强分布不均提出加权平均归一化算法。仿真结果显示,光斑强度分布越均匀成像质量越高,加权平均归一化算法能减小光强分布不均对成像质量的影响。所得结果有助于数字微镜空间光调制器的赝热光源反射式水下量子成像系统中对光源的优化和成像质量的提升。     

X光傅里叶变换关联成像赝热光源研究

高质量赝热光源是实现X光关联成像技术在显微领域应用的关键。X光傅里叶变换关联成像的赝热光源通过随机孔屏调制X光获得,在此基于统计光学分析了调制后X光散斑场的统计特性,并通过数值模拟分析了随机孔屏参数对散斑场特性及成像质量的影响。结果表明,随机孔屏引入的相位差变化为π时,关联成像对比度达到最优值。对于振幅型随机孔屏,成像对比度随着占空比的减小而增大;对于相位型随机孔屏,成像对比度随着占空比的减小而减小。实际X光傅里叶变换关联成像系统中使用的复振幅型随机分布金属孔屏,通过选择合适的透过率和占空比可以实现高对比度关联成像。     

部分相干X光傅里叶变换鬼成像研究

鬼成像中通常是采用相干光辐照散射屏获取赝热光源,但是在X光波段,赝热光源的入射光为部分相干光,其空间部分相干性会对成像质量产生较大影响。采用高斯谢尔模型,理论分析了入射光的部分相干性对赝热X光二阶关联函数的影响,同时给出了基于统计光学的模拟结果,与理论结果吻合,均表明X光空间相干性会影响鬼成像的可见度和分辨率。在空间相干性有限的情况下,通过在散射屏前置尺寸与X光横向相干尺寸相当的针孔可以抑制部分相干性的影响,提高X光傅里叶变换鬼成像的可见度,将有利于实现X光傅里叶变换鬼成像技术的广泛应用。     

反射式赝热光源散斑场的三维特性研究

傅里叶变换关联成像通常采用透射式赝热光源,但透射产生散斑的纵向尺寸过大限制了成像纵向分辨率且透射式赝热光的光通量较低,这对实现三维傅里叶变换关联成像造成了阻碍。为解决这一问题,理论推导了反射式赝热光源散斑场的光强涨落关联函数,给出了散射屏放置在不同空间位置和倾斜角度时的纵向散斑尺寸。同时,进行了基于统计光学的数值模拟,模拟结果与理论结果吻合。结果表明,通过减小散射角和增大散射屏方位角等方法可以有效降低观察点处的纵向散斑尺寸,从而提高纵向成像分辨率。     

基于赝热光照明的单发光学散斑成像

散射介质对光的散射是当前限制光学成像深度或距离的一个严重的问题.本文首先数值模拟比较了光透过随机散射介质成像研究中常用的基于光学记忆效应(memory effect, ME)和自相关(autocorrelation, AC)方法的HIOER算法和乒乓(Ping-Pang, PP)算法的优缺点.通过对HIOER算法和PP算法的恢复效果和迭代次数进行比较,发现PP算法在保持较高恢复效果的前提下拥有更快的运行速度.实验中,利用连续HeNe激光器和旋转毛玻璃产生赝热光源,通过物镜对随机散射介质后数毫米距离内的不同形状物体进行了单帧成像,并采用PP算法成功地恢复出微米量级物体的实际图像.这一研究结果将进一步促进ME和AC方法在深层生物组织医学成像研究上的应用.最后,实验研究了不同的物镜和散射介质的间距对成像恢复的放大率、分辨率和图像强度的影响特性,并进行了详细研究.     

基于块稀疏贝叶斯的生物发光断层重建

生物发光断层成像(BLT)是一种非侵入、高灵敏度的光学分子影像技术,可以通过探测生物体表面的光信号重建出生物体内部光源的三维分布情况。由于光在组织中传播时,散射占据主导作用,导致BLT重建问题的病态性,给光源重建带来巨大的挑战。在BLT重建中,基于光源稀疏分布的特征,稀疏正则化方法相比于传统的L2范数正则化取得了显著进展。更进一步,由于生物发光光源的分布具有的空间聚集特征,利用该特征将有助于进一步提高BLT重建的准确性。相比于传统的针对求解域中所有未知量进行稀疏重建的算法,探索了利用块稀疏进行生物发光断层成像重建的可行性,首先通过对系统矩阵进行相关系数分析将求解域划分成一系列数据块,然后利用块稀疏贝叶斯算法对生物发光光源的分布进行三维重建。通过仿真实验与小鼠活体实验,并与传统稀疏重建算法L1-LS进行了比较,结果表明该方法可以有效缓解BLT重建问题的病态性,抑制噪声,并且可提高重建结果的准确性。     

基于光场一阶关联的时域成像

与通常利用二阶强度关联测量实现时域鬼成像不同,本文利用时域热光源借助干涉仪通过一阶关联实现时域成像.基于空域光束的近轴衍射和时域窄带脉冲在色散介质中色散之间的空间-时间二象性,在时域脉冲响应函数的基础上得到了表征一阶关联时域成像的强度表达式,分析研究了光源脉冲宽度和相干时间对成像可见度和分辨率的影响.结果一方面表明基于热光场一阶关联的时域成像在不需要额外色散补偿或消除条件下可以实现时域物体信号的再现,另一方面表明当光源脉冲宽度一定时,成像可见度随光源脉冲相干时间的增加而增加,但是成像分辨率逐渐降低,其中当光源脉冲宽度约为100 ps,相干时间约为0.5 ps时,间隔为20 ps,宽度为8 ps的时域矩形波型物体的成像质量(兼顾可见度和分辨率)较好.该结果对于基于热光一阶关联的时域成像在时序信号测量中的应用具有重要意义.     

Resolution and visibility of two-color pseudothermal lensless ghost imaging

Two-color (or nondegenerate-wavelength) lensless ghost imaging using pseudothermal light source is investigated theoretically by use of classical optical coherence theory. We find that for two-color pseudothermal lensless ghost imaging the visibility and resolution is determined by (Δ) the product of the wavelength and the corresponding path length rather than the wavelength for each path or the path length. We also confirm our theoretical conclusion by numerical simulations. The result shows we must make a trade-off between resolution and visibility in devise practical experiments, as the resolution of the imaging can be improved by decreasing Δ but with visibility getting poor, and vice versa.     

Imaging through aberrating media by computational ghost imaging with incoherent light

We demonstrate a series of experiments on imaging through both stationary aberrating media and moving aberrating media by computational ghost imaging(CGI).An incoherent LED light source is used instead of the common pseudothermal light source(laser light passing through a rotating ground glass).A digital micromirror device is used as a simple spatial light modulator to perform CGI.Moreover,a digital filtering method is introduced to improve imaging quality through moving aberrating media.This imaging modality may have potential applications in medicine and astronomy.     

Fluorescence ghost imaging with pseudothermal light

We extend classical light ghost imaging to the area of fluorescence imaging and propose a new fluorescence imaging method. For the first time, we demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally that fluorescence ghost imaging can be realized with pseudothermal light. Important factors influencing the visibility and resolution of the images are discussed to improve the quality of the fluorescence ghost imaging. We hope that this work may pave the road for ghost imaging to biomedical applications.     

High-resolution ghost image and ghost diffraction experiments with thermal light

High-resolution ghost image and ghost diffraction experiments are performed by using a single classical source of pseudothermal speckle light divided by a beam splitter. Passing from the image to the diffraction result solely relies on changing the optical setup in the reference arm, while leaving the object arm untouched. The product of spatial resolutions of the ghost image and ghost diffraction experiments is shown to overcome a limit which seemed to be achievable only with entangled photons.     

Ghost imaging with intense fields from chaotically seeded parametric downconversion

We present the first experimental demonstration, to the best of our knowledge, of ghost imaging realized with intense beams generated by a parametric downconversion interaction seeded with pseudothermal light. As expected, the real image of the object is reconstructed satisfying the thin-lens equation. We show that the experimental visibility of the reconstructed image is in accordance with the theoretically expected one.     

Ghost imaging with white light speckle patterns

In this paper we describe a method to study the formation of a ghost image by using a simplified setup. A spatial light modulator (SLM) working in amplitude regime is used both to display the object and the intensity distribution that provides the high-spatially correlated beams which are the base of this phenomenon. We compare the recovered ghost image with that obtained by using pseudothermal light. Moreover we show that good quality images are also retrieved when a turbulent media is present.     

Effects of light intensity on reflective ghost imaging

In this letter, we analyze the effects of light intensity find that the brightness of reflective ghost image can on reflective ghost imaging with thermal source. We be changed by modulating the light intensity of the source and the splitting ratio of the beam splitter. The signal-to-noise ratio will be improved by increa.sing the light intensity of the source. More important, we can obtain the reflective ghost image with high image quality by adopting a low light intensity signal beam and a high light intensity reference beam, which is better than the classical optical imaging, because it can reduce the effects of light on the object.     

Cross spectral purity and its influence on ghost imaging experiments

Pseudo-thermal light has been widely used in ghost imaging experiments. In order to understand the differences between the pseudo-thermal source and thermal source, we propose a method to investigate whether a light source has cross spectral purity (CSP), and experimentally measure the cross spectral properties of the pseudo-thermal light source in near-field and far-field zones. Moreover we present a theoretical analysis of the cross spectral influence on ghost imaging.     

Lensless ghost imaging through the strongly scattering medium

Lensless ghost imaging has attracted much interest in recent years due to its profound physics and potential applications. In this paper we report studies of the robust properties of the lensless ghost imaging system with a pseudo-thermal light source in a strongly scattering medium. The effects of the positions of the strong medium on the ghost imaging are investigated. In the lensless ghost imaging system, a pseudo-thermal light is split into two correlated beams by a beam splitter. One beam goes to a charge-coupled detector camera, labeled as CCD2. The other beam goes to an object and then is collected in another charge-coupled detector camera, labeled as CCD1, which serves as a bucket detector. When the strong medium, a pane of ground glass disk, is placed between the object and CCD1, the bucket detector, the quality of ghost imaging is barely affected and a good image could still be obtained. The quality of the ghost imaging can also be maintained, even when the ground glass is rotating, which is the strongest scattering medium so far. However, when the strongly scattering medium is present in the optical path from the light source to CCD2 or the object, the lensless ghost imaging system hardly retrieves the image of the object. A theoretical analysis in terms of the second-order correlation function is also provided.
