相干反斯托克斯拉曼散射(CARS)显微能够对样品的特殊化学组分进行选择性成像,无需荧光标记,在生物医学领域被广泛应用.然而,传统的CARS图像往往存在非共振背景信号.本文将基于光强传输方程的单光束相位成像技术用于CARS显微成像,来抑制CARS的非共振背景信号.该方法通过记录样品在三个相邻平面上的CARS图像,然后利用光强传输方程获取CARS光场的相位分布,最后利用共振CARS信号和非共振背景信号在相位上的差异,实现了对背景噪声的抑制.该方法无需参考光,通过三次测量可完成CARS的背景噪声抑制,具有良好的应用前景.

Optical diffraction tomography microscopy with transport of intensity equation using a light-emitting diode array

Optical diffraction tomography (ODT) is an effective label-free technique for quantitatively refractive index imaging, which enables long-term monitoring of the internal three-dimensional (3D) structures and molecular composition of biological cells with minimal perturbation. However, existing optical tomographic methods generally rely on interferometric configuration for phase measurement and sophisticated mechanical systems for sample rotation or beam scanning. Thereby, the measurement is suspect to phase error coming from the coherent speckle, environmental vibrations, and mechanical error during data acquisition process. To overcome these limitations, we present a new ODT technique based on non-interferometric phase retrieval and programmable illumination emitting from a light-emitting diode (LED) array. The experimental system is built based on a traditional bright field microscope, with the light source replaced by a programmable LED array, which provides angle-variable quasi-monochromatic illumination with an angular coverage of ±37 degrees in both x and y directions (corresponding to an illumination numerical aperture of ∼0.6). Transport of intensity equation (TIE) is utilized to recover the phase at different illumination angles, and the refractive index distribution is reconstructed based on the ODT framework under first Rytov approximation. The missing-cone problem in ODT is addressed by using the iterative non-negative constraint algorithm, and the misalignment of the LED array is further numerically corrected to improve the accuracy of refractive index quantification. Experiments on polystyrene beads and thick biological specimens show that the proposed approach allows accurate refractive index reconstruction while greatly reduced the system complexity and environmental sensitivity compared to conventional interferometric ODT approaches.

Phase retrieval using the transport of intensity equation solved by the FMG–CG method

The relationship between the object-plane phase and the intensity distribution in the Fresnel region can be described by the transport of intensity equation (TIE). The phase distribution can thus be uniquely determined by solving TIE. In this study, a full multigrid preconditioned conjugate gradient (FMG–CG) method is proposed to numerically solve the TIE for phase retrieval. The full multigrid method is a scalable algorithm, and can be parallelized readily and efficiently. By using this method as a preconditioner of the preconditioned conjugate gradient (PCG) method, fast convergence is obtained. The simulation experiments show that complicated phase distributions with fast convergence speed can be retrieved by this composite method.

The intensity detection of single-photon detectors based on photon counting probability density statistics

Single-photon detectors possess the ultra-high sensitivity, but they cannot directly respond to signal intensity. Conventional methods adopt sampling gates with fixed width and count the triggered number of sampling gates, which is capable of obtaining photon counting probability to estimate the echo signal intensity. In this paper, we not only count the number of triggered sampling gates, but also record the triggered time position of photon counting pulses. The photon counting probability density distribution is obtained through the statistics of a series of the triggered time positions. Then Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimation(MVUE) method is used to estimate the echo signal intensity. Compared with conventional methods, this method can improve the estimation accuracy of echo signal intensity due to the acquisition of more detected information. Finally, a proof-of-principle laboratory system is established. The estimation accuracy of echo signal intensity is discussed and a high accuracy intensity image is acquired under low-light level environments.     

Determination of the refractive index profile of a symmetric fiber preform by the transport of intensity equation

The refractive index profile of an axially symmetric fiber preform is determined by using the transport of intensity equation. In this method the preform is immersed in an index-matching liquid, and a collimated light beam impinges on it laterally. The intensity distributions of the transmitted light are measured on two close parallel planes inside the preform core. From the recorded intensity distributions, the deflection function is calculated by the transport of intensity equation. The refractive index profile is obtained by means of Abel inversion. Also, for comparison, the refractive index profile of the preform is measured by the focusing method and the results are in agreement with less than 3% error.
