Computational lensless ghost imaging in a slant path non-Kolmogorov turbulent atmosphere

Based on the computational ghost-imaging arrangement with “virtual detector” and the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral, lensless ghost imaging with fully spatially incoherent light radiation through a slant turbulent channel has been studied. The analytical ghost-imaging formulas have been derived. Our formulas shown that the image quality is influenced by the turbulence strength, the propagation distance, the zenith angle of communication channel and the fractal constant of the non-Kolmogorov power spectrum of atmospheric turbulence. In the case of the short-exposure imaging and the bucket detector detection for test field, the influence of the atmospheric turbulence on the quality of the ghost imaging mainly come from the path which is ahead of object.     

日光强度涨落自关联消湍流成像

从关联成像理论出发,提出了日光场在实际大气湍流环境中强度点对点自关联成像理论,并进行了实验验证,分析了太阳光强度二阶自关联成像和强度点对点二阶自关联成像的区别.研究结果表明,太阳光场的点对点四阶自关联,即强度的二阶点对点自关联,可实现消大气湍流成像.为验证理论有效性,利用外场实验进行了验证,获得优于17 km距离的消湍流成像结果.理论和实验均表明,太阳光强度涨落的点对点自关联可实现消大气湍流成像.相比于相机直接成像,本文成像方法消除了大气湍流影响,同时该方案极大提升了关联成像技术的实用性,可直接用于远距离消大气湍流的高质量成像,增加图像识别率.理论表明,任何成像过程中波前受相位扰动影响的波段,如红外、紫外等,均可利用本文方法消除影响,成果具有较大实用价值.

Factors influencing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of lensless ghost interference with thermal incoherent light are investigated.Our result shows that the SNR of lensless ghost interference is related to the transverse length of the object,the position of the object in the imaging system and the transverse size of the light source.Furthermore,the effects of these factors on the SNR are discussed in detail by numerical simulations.

Lensless diffractive imaging using tabletop coherent high-harmonic soft-X-ray beams

We present the first experimental demonstration of lensless diffractive imaging using coherent soft x rays generated by a tabletop soft-x-ray source. A 29 nm high harmonic beam illuminates an object, and the subsequent diffraction is collected on an x-ray CCD camera. High dynamic range diffraction patterns are obtained by taking multiple exposures while blocking small-angle diffraction using beam blocks of varying size. These patterns reconstruct to images with 214 nm resolution. This work demonstrates a practical tabletop lensless microscope that promises to find applications in materials science, nanoscience, and biology.

Ghost imaging of Multi-Gaussian Schell-model beams in the Z-tilt aberration corrected channels

Based on the optical coherent theory and the extended Huygens–Fresnel integral, lensless ghost imaging of Multi-Gaussian Schell-model beams through the slant non-Kolmogorov turbulence channels with Z-tilt aberration correction has been studied and the theoretical models have been derived. Our results indicate that the nearer of object to illuminant plane, the larger beam width and the more beamlet number are, the more fine of image quality is. The undersize of illumination light source will cause the quality decline of ghost imaging and the image quality of the object illuminated by the incoherent light are worse than that of illuminated by partially coherent light.     

Compressed ghost imaging based on differential speckle patterns

We propose a compressed ghost imaging scheme based on differential speckle patterns,named CGI-DSP.In the scheme,a series of bucket detector signals are acquired when a series of random speckle patterns are employed to illuminate an unknown object.Then the differential speckle patterns(differential bucket detector signals) are obtained by taking the difference between present random speckle patterns(present bucket detector signals) and previous random speckle patterns(previous bucket detector signals).Finally,the image of object can be obtained directly by performing the compressed sensing algorithm on the differential speckle patterns and differential bucket detector signals.The experimental and simulated results reveal that CGI-DSP can improve the imaging quality and reduce the number of measurements comparing with the traditional compressed ghost imaging schemes because our scheme can remove the environmental illuminations efficiently.     

Imaging a periodic moving/state-changed object with Hadamard-based computational ghost imaging

We propose a method for imaging a periodic moving/state-changed object based on computational ghost imaging with Hadamard speckle patterns and a slow bucket detector, named as PO-HCGI. In the scheme, speckle patterns are produced from a part of each row of a Hadamard matrix. Then, in each cycle, multiple speckle patterns are projected onto the periodic moving/state-changed object, and a bucket detector with a slow sampling rate records the total intensities reflected from the object as one measurement. With a series of measurements, the frames of the moving/state-changed object can be obtained directly by the second-order correlation function based on the Hadamard matrix and the corresponding bucket detector measurement results. The experimental and simulation results demonstrate the validity of the PO-HCGI. To the best of our knowledge, PO-HCGI is the first scheme that can image a fast periodic moving/state-changed object by computational ghost imaging with a slow bucket detector.     

基于稀疏阵赝热光系统的强度关联成像研究

强度关联成像在近几年取得很大的突破,其应用价值越来越明显。以随机涨落的热光作为光源是强度关联成像的前提。目前常使用激光穿过旋转的毛玻璃产生赝热光。鉴于使用毛玻璃产生赝热光的局限性,提出了使用稀疏阵独立子光源产生赝热光,并在这种光源结构下讨论了基于线性关联算法的强度关联成像和基于稀疏约束非线性算法的强度关联成像的异同。     

Compressed ghost edge imaging

In this Letter, we propose an advanced framework of ghost edge imaging, named compressed ghost edge imaging(CGEI). In the scheme, a set of structured speckle patterns with pixel shifting illuminate on an unknown object.The output is collected by a bucket detector without any spatial resolution. By using a compressed sensing algorithm, we obtain horizontal and vertical edge information of the unknown object with the bucket detector detection results and the known structured speckle patterns. The edge is finally constructed via twodimensional edge information. The experimental and numerical simulations results show that the proposed scheme has a higher quality and reduces the number of measurements, in comparison with the existing edge detection schemes based on ghost imaging.

Lensless two-color ghost imaging from the perspective of coherent-mode representation

The coherent-mode representation theory is firstly used to analyze lensless two-color ghost imaging. A quite complicated expression about the point-spread function(PSF) needs to be given to analyze which wavelength has a stronger affect on imaging quality when the usual integral representation theory is used to ghost imaging. Unlike this theory, the coherent-mode representation theory shows that imaging quality depends crucially on the distribution of the decomposition coefficients of the object imaged in a two-color ghost imaging. The analytical expression of the decomposition coefficients of the object is unconcerned with the wavelength of the light used in the reference arm, but has relevance with the wavelength in the object arm. In other words, imaging quality of two-color ghost imaging depends primarily on the wavelength of the light illuminating the object. Our simulation results also demonstrate this conclusion.     

Visibility enhancement in two-dimensional lensless ghost imaging with true thermal light

We report an experimental demonstration of two-dimensional(2D) lensless ghost imaging with true thermal light. An electrodeless discharge lamp with a higher light intensity than the hollow cathode lamp used before is employed as a light source. The main problem encountered by the 2D lensless ghost imaging with true thermal light is that its coherence time is much shorter than the resolution time of the detection system. To overcome this difficulty we derive a method based on the relationship between the true and measured values of the second-order optical intensity correlation, by which means the visibility of the ghost image can be dramatically enhanced. This method would also be suitable for ghost imaging with natural sunlight.     

Experimental Study on Coherence Time of a Light Field with Single Photon Counting

The second-order degree of coherence of pseudo-thermal light and coherence time are experimentally studied via the Hanbruy-Brown-Twiss （HBT） scheme. The system consists of two non-photon-number-resolving single- photon-counting modules （SPCMs） operating in the Geiger mode. We investigate the coherence time of the incident beam for different spot sizes on a ground glass a~d speeds of a rotating ground glass. The corresponding coherence time can be obtained from Gaussian fitting for the measured second-order degree of coherence. The results show that the coherence time of measured pseudo-thermal light depends on the spot sizes and the rotating speeds of the ground glass. The maximum value of the second-order degree of coherence is reduced as the rotating speed decreases. This result can be well explained by the model of mixed thermal and coherent fields with different ratios.     

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.

基于统计光学的正负热光非定域成像

本文, 基于经典统计光学, 建立符合热光特性的统计模型, 通过数值模拟证明了吴令安和Meyers提出的图像重构算法, 并进行了定性的理论分析. 在关联成像获得的数据样本中, 根据桶探测器的光强涨落进行分组, 分别以某个阈值作为下限和上限, 再将分组后的独立样本和相应的面探测器信号进行强度关联, 则可以得到物体的正像或负像. 然而, 不经过关联运算, 直接对分组后的面探测器信号进行算数平均也可以得到物体的正像或负像, 同时成像的对比度得到较大提高. 这种分组对应的非定域成像进一步说明强度涨落在热光成像中的重要性. 最后以字符掩膜版作为成像物体, 分别运用关联成像和分组对应正负成像算法重构物体的图像, 实验结果证明这种新的正负算法可以提高非定域成像的对比度. 关键词： 统计光学 热光 关联成像 正负非定域成像
