Microscope system with on axis programmable Fourier transform filtering

We propose an on-axis microscope optical system to implement programmable optical Fourier transform image processing operations, taking advantage of phase and polarization modulation of a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display. We use a Hamamatsu spatial light modulator (SLM), free of flickering, which therefore can be tuned to fully eliminate the zero order component of the encoded diffractive filter. This allows the realization of filtering operation on axis (as opposed to other systems in the literature that require operating off axis), therefore making use of the full space bandwidth provided by the SLM. The system is first demonstrated by implementing different optical processing operations based on phase-only blazed gratings such as phase contrast, band-pass filtering, or additive and substractive imaging. Then, a simple Differential interference contrast (DIC) imaging is obtained changing to a polarization modulation scheme, achieved simply by selecting a different incident state of polarization on the incident beam.

A simplified holography based superresolution system

In this paper we are proposing a simple idea based on holography to achieve superresolution. The object is illuminated by three fibers which maintain the mutual coherence between the light waves. The object in-plane rotation along with fiber-based illumination is used to achieve superresolution. The object in a 4f optical system is illuminated by an on-axis fiber to make the central part of the object׳s spectrum to the pass through the limiting square-aperture placed at the Fourier plane and the corresponding hologram of the image is recorded at the image plane. The on-axis fiber is switched off and the two off axis fibers (one positioned on the vertical axis and the other positioned on diagonal) are switched on one by one for each orientation of the object position. Four orientations of object in-plane rotation are used differing in angle by 90°. This will allow the recording of eight holographic images in addition to the one recorded with on-axis fiber. The three fibers are at the vertices of a right angled isosceles triangle and are aligned toward the centre of the lens following the fiber plane to generate plane waves for object illumination. The nine holographic images are processed for construction of object׳s original spectrum, the inverse of which gives the super-resolved image of the original object. Mathematical modeling and simulations are reported.     

Synthetic aperture microscopy using off-axis illumination and polarization coding

A new method to improve the resolution of optical imaging systems beyond the classical Rayleigh resolution limit is presented. The technique relies on synthetic aperture generation in three stages. The first one (encoding stage) uses an illumination procedure that combines both on-axis and off-axis illumination beams with different polarization states onto the object. After the imaging system, a second stage (decoding stage) allows the recovering of the encoded spatial-frequency object information by means of an interferometric configuration based on the polarization coding carried out in the previous stage. Finally, a third stage (digital post-processing stage) is used to generate a synthetic aperture that is three times larger than the conventional aperture of the imaging system. The whole process allows us to obtain a superresolved image of the object. Experimental implementation of the approach for a commercial microscope objective is presented.     

Off-axis pulsed laser deposition system for epitaxial oxide growth on substrates up to 2 inches in diameter

A novel off-axis pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) system for ferroelectric oxide thin films has been developed. The substrates are mounted "upside-down" and are rotating. The maximum substrate size is 2 inches in diameter. The optical and structural properties of the grown BaTiO₃ films are compared to the films produced by an on-axis PLD system. The stoichiometry and thickness were checked with Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). The crystalline quality and orientation were investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry in channeling configuration (RBS/C). Using atomic force microscopy, the rms surface roughness was measured. The BaTiO₃ films grown on MgO form a planar optical waveguide. The optical losses and the refractive indices of these waveguides were determined with a prism coupling setup. Films grown on 10᎒ mm² MgO (100) substrates in on-axis geometry show optical waveguide losses less than 3 dB/cm.

Stable single-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a photoresistive aperture

It is numerically demonstrated that on-axis current channeling through the use of a photoactive layer or layers in vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser cavities counteracts hole burning and allows single-mode operation at high currents. The photoactive layers act as a variable-resistivity screen whose radial aperture is controlled by the light itself. Absorption of a small fraction of the light intensity suffices for significant on-axis current peaking with minimum efficiency loss and optical mode distortion.

Fourier transforms method for measuring thermal lens induced in diluted liquid samples

Drawing on interferometry and Fourier analysis, this paper describes the use of a two-beam thermal lens technique for measuring thermo-optical properties in optical materials. The procedure consists of yield interference patterns deformed by a localized photothermal effect. The photothermal phase shift is locally induced by the pump beam focused on a tested sample located on an on-axis probe beam, which is the first arm of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The plane where the effect is localized is imaged onto a CCD camera. Then two interferograms are recorded: one without effect and the other one with the induced photothermal phase. Fourier analysis performed on these interferograms allow us to plot the thermal lens map and, therefore, to estimate thermo-optic constant of Malachite Green in water solution. The method is applied to measure low linear absorptions of a diluted sample of Rhodamine B in water solution at 633 nm, showing that the proposed technique allows to measure photothermal phase shift as low as 3.1 mrad at 8 mW of input power in diluted materials.     

Cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy for shocktubes: Design and optimization

Cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) has generated much interest in shocktube kinetics studies because of its recent success in achieving improved sensitivity and high time resolution with robust optical alignment. While recent progress demonstrated experimental schemes including off-axis scanned-wavelength approach and on-axis ps-pulsed laser approach, that both successfully suppressed the laser-cavity coupling noise, this paper develops a theoretical model to predict the CEAS sensor performance that can be used as a design tool applicable to more generalized cases. The method models the optical field in the cavity based on the decentered Gaussian beam model, from which the cavity transmission spectrum and the laser-cavity coupling noise can be numerically calculated. The simulation results predict sensor performance for different cavity configurations and laser characteristics, including various degrees of laser-cavity mode-matching, laser linewidths, scanning rates, and cavity filling conditions. Simulation with example wavelengths in the ultraviolet, near-infrared, and mid-infrared showed increasing mode-matched beam waist size for increasing wavelengths. An off-axis alignment scheme was found to be capable of suppressing the coupling noise by two orders-of-magnitude at a moderate laser linewidth of 1?GHz. Coupling noise level on the order of 1e-5 for scanned-wavelength off-axis alignment case with a narrowband mid-infrared laser was obtained by model calculation and agreed with experimental results within acceptable uncertainty range. The developed method can serve to guide future design and optimization of CEAS system in shocktube studies.
