Generalizing the Confocal Microscope via Heterodyne Interferometry and Digital Filtering
We describe a generalized confocal optical microscope which measures both phase and amplitude, separately and simultaneously. The system is based on heterodyne interferometry, and is extremely fast and accurate. Together with the associated signal processing and data acquisition system, it can take data at the rate of 50,000 points per second, to an accuracy of 12 bits in amplitude and about th...
متن کاملHighspeed multiplexed heterodyne interferometry.
Digitally enhanced heterodyne interferometry is a metrology technique that uses pseudo-random noise codes for modulating the phase of the laser light. Multiple interferometric signals from the same beam path can thereby be isolated based on their propagation delay, allowing one to use advantageous optical layouts in comparison to classic laser interferometers. We present here a high speed versi...
متن کاملA custom confocal and two-photon digital laser scanning microscope.
We describe a custom one-photon (confocal) and two-photon all-digital (photon counting) laser scanning microscope. The confocal component uses two avalanche photodiodes (APDs) as the fluorescence detector to achieve high sensitivity and to overcome the limited photon counting rate of a single APD ( approximately 5 MHz). The confocal component is approximately nine times more efficient than our ...
متن کاملAmiba: Broadband Heterodyne Cmb Interferometry
The Y. T. Lee Array for Microwave Background (AMiBA) has reported the first science results on the detection of galaxy clusters via the Sunyaev Zel’dovich effect. The science objectives required small reflectors in order to sample large scale structures (20’) while interferometry provided modest resolutions (2’). With these constraints, we designed for the best sensitivity by utilizing the maxi...
متن کاملThe correlation confocal microscope.
A new type of confocal microscope is described which makes use of intensity correlations between spatially correlated beams of light. It is shown that this apparatus leads to significantly improved transverse resolution.
