Angular scatter ultrasound imaging of wavelength scale targets

A bistatic ultrasound imaging system is demonstrated that uses two 32-element linear phased array transducers oriented at an angle of 40 degrees to one another. The system simultaneously acquires and displays in real time one conventional backscatter image and one "angular scatter" image formed using side-scattered echoes from the same B-mode sector region. Experiments are presented that show differences in the magnitudes of backscatter and angular scatter signals acquired from three nylon monofilaments with diameters less than one wavelength and from soft tissue structures in vivo. The relative magnitudes of angular scatter signals from the monofilaments are qualitatively consistent with a theoretical analysis of acoustic scattering from elastic cylinders. Larger tissue features are more clearly defined in angular scatter images. This result is attributed to the orientation of specularly reflecting surfaces and the expected influence of scattering angle on the system's sensitivity to different scatterer spacings.     

Digital particle holographic system for measurements of spray field characteristics

A digital particle holographic system for measurements of spray fields is presented. A double exposure hologram recording system with a synchronization system for time control is established, resulting in digital holograms that can be quickly recorded. To process recorded holograms, the correlation coefficient method is used for focal plane determination of particles. To remove noise and improve the quality of holograms and reconstructed images, a Wiener filter is adopted. The two-threshold and image segmentation methods are used for binary image transformation. For particle pairing, the match probability method is adopted. The proposed system is applied to a spray field, and three-dimensional velocities and sizes of spray droplets are measured. Measurement results from the digital holographic system are compared to those made by laser instruments, which prove the feasibility of the proposed in-line digital particle holographic system as a good measurement tool for spray droplets.

On the theory of space-time polarization holography

Polarization holographic recording and the reconstruction of the field of a nonstationary object wave are considered theoretically. Expressions for the nondiffracted beam, as well as the virtual and real images, formed by a space-time polarization hologram are analyzed. It is shown that, under certain conditions imposed on the isotropic, anisotropic, and gyrotropic responses of a polarization-sensitive medium, one can adequately reconstruct the space structure, time waveform, and polarization characteristics of the field of a nonstationary object in the virtual image.     

Superparallel holographic correlator for ultrafast database searches

We describe a superparallel holographic optical correlator that performs two-dimensional spatial and angular multiplexing simultaneously. The key step in this architecture is the use of a holographic multiplexer to split a query image into many copies before it applies them to the holographic database. A holographic demultiplexer, in conjunction with an aperture, is used to identify the location and the angle of the brightest correlation peak. This architecture uses only O(square root of N) detector elements to search through N unsorted images in a single query. We demonstrate the basic features of this architecture, using three spatial locations with eight angle-multiplexed images in each location.     

一种适用于大测绘带合成孔径声呐的运动补偿方法

当合成孔径声呐测绘带较大时,运动误差的空变效应严重,经典的相位中心重叠算法难以适用。为此,提出了一种适用于大测绘带合成孔径声呐的运动补偿方法。首先使用混合调制的拉格朗日时延估计算法对前后两帧回波的时延进行估计,之后使用线性回归方法拟合出运动误差,最后利用运动误差的估计值对回波进行逐点精确补偿。仿真数据的结果表明,该算法能够获得比相位中心重叠算法更好的运动估计结果,运动补偿后成像分辨率接近理论分辨率。使用该算法分别对高、低频合成孔径声呐的湖试数据进行了处理,水下地貌和小目标的成像质量均有明显提高。      

Multiplexing encryption-decryption via lateral shifting of a random phase mask

We present an holographic memory optical arrangement based on the successive shifting of a random pure-phase mask to achieve encrypted images multiplexing. The input images are encrypted to a stationary white noise using the usual double random encoding in the Fresnel domain. The encrypted information is imaged in a photorefractive crystal where also a reference beam impinges. In the holographic memory, a BSO crystal is used to provide both a recording medium and a phase conjugate mirror. The combination of these two features supplies at the same time the necessary exact cancellation of the random pure-phase mask as well as allows a real-time decryption process. Successive images are encrypted and position-encoded by speckle patterns arising from the random pure-phase mask in-plane shifting between exposures. We include experimental results to corroborate the multiplexing capability and the read-out fidelity of the proposed arrangement.

Digital holography particle image velocimetry for the measurement of 3Dt-3c flows

In this paper a digital in-line holographic recording and reconstruction system was set up and used in the particle image velocimetry for the 3Dt-3c (the three-component (3c), velocity vector field measurements in a three-dimensional (3D), space field with time history (t)) flow measurements that made up of the new full-flow field experimental technique—digital holographic particle image velocimetry (DHPIV). The traditional holographic film was replaced by a CCD chip that records instantaneously the interference fringes directly without the darkroom processing, and the virtual image slices in different positions were reconstructed by computation using Fresnel–Kirchhoff integral method from the digital holographic image. Also a complex field signal filter (analyzing image calculated by its intensity and phase from real and image parts in fast fourier transform (FFT)) was applied in image reconstruction to achieve the thin focus depth of image field that has a strong effect with the vertical velocity component resolution. Using the frame-straddle CCD device techniques, the 3c velocity vector was computed by 3D cross-correlation through space interrogation block matching through the reconstructed image slices with the digital complex field signal filter. Then the 3D-3c-velocity field (about 20 000 vectors), 3D-streamline and 3D-vorticiry fields, and the time evolution movies (30 field/s) for the 3Dt-3c flows were displayed by the experimental measurement using this DHPIV method and techniques.

Digital color holographic recording and reconstruction using synthetic aperture and multiple reference waves

This paper presents a method for recording and reconstructing high-quality digital color holographic images. The synthetic aperture technique is used to improve the resolution of the reconstructed image and also reduce the speckle size in the reconstruction plane. Subsequently, the multiple reference wave technique is used to suppress speckle noise in the reconstructed color holographic image by superposing speckle fields with different distributions. The final high-quality color holographic image is obtained due to the resolution improvement and speckle noise reduction achieved by the two techniques. Our method has potential applications in the digital color holographic displays.     

Deterministic phase encoding encryption in single shot digital holography

We demonstrate a deterministic phase-encoded encryption system based on the digital holography and adopted a lenticular lens array (LLA) sheet as a phase modulator. In the proposed scheme the holographic patterns of encrypted images are captured digitally by a digital CCD. This work also adopt a novel, simple and effective technique that is used to suppress numerically the major blurring caused by the zero-order image in the numerical reconstruction. The decryption key is acquired as a digital hologram, called the key hologram. Therefore, the retrieval of the original information can be achieved by multiplying the encrypted hologram with a numerical generated phase-encoded wave. The storage and transmission of all holograms can be carried out by all-digital means. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can be operated in single procedure only and represent the satisfactory decrypted image. Finally, rotating and shifting the LLA is applied to investigate the tolerance of decryption to demonstrate the feasibility in the holographic encryption, as well as can also be used to provide the higher security.     

Glasses-free 3D viewing systems for medical imaging

In this work we show two different glasses-free 3D viewing systems for medical imaging: a stereoscopic system that employs a vertically dispersive holographic screen (VDHS) and a multi-autostereoscopic system, both used to produce 3D MRI/CT images. We describe how to obtain a VDHS in holographic plates optimized for this application, with field of view of 7 cm to each eye and focal length of 25 cm, showing images done with the system. We also describe a multi-autostereoscopic system, presenting how it can generate 3D medical imaging from viewpoints of a MRI or CT image, showing results of a 3D angioresonance image.     

Reflected light holographic microscopy of moving objects

A holographic system that images front-illuminated, fast-moving microscopic objects is described. Focused micrographs can be generated under circumstances when ordinary microscopy (due to object movements) and transilluminated holographic microscopy (due to object opaqueness) cannot be used. Details of the experimental arrangements, easy-to-use working formulae for obtaining optimum image reproduction, and results from the application of the system to studies of droplet and solid particle suspensions in liquids are presented.

Use of optical fiber bundle in digital image plane holography

Use of optical fiber bundles (OFBs) in digital image plane holography systems is limited due to, first, poor quality of transmitted images through the OFB and, second, further image degradation caused by overlappings in the image (also hologram) plane. Existing systems are aimed at near-distant (order of a centimeter) objects and use demanding procedures to achieving acceptable quality of holographic reconstructions. This paper presents an OFB based holographic system capable of achieving fast and good-quality holographic and interferometric reconstructions of far-distant (order of a meter) objects. The proposed system is based on performing subtraction operations through the image acquisition interface buffers directly accessed to process the holograms and instantly display the output. The system is analyzed theoretically and its effectiveness is validated by experimental results.
