Harmonic phase-dispersion microscope with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
Harmonic phase-dispersion microscopy (PDM) is a new imaging technique in which contrast is provided by differences in refractive index at two harmonically related wavelengths. We report a new configuration of the harmonic phase-dispersion microscope in a Mach-Zehnder geometry as an instrument for imaging biological samples. Several improvements on the earlier design are demonstrated, including ...
متن کاملAn optical interferometer with wavelength dispersion
MAPPIT is an optical interferometer installed at the coudé focus of the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. The instrument combines non-redundant masking with wavelength dispersion and is able to record fringes simultaneously over a wide bandwidth. For typical observations centred near 600 nm, the bandwidth is ∆ = 55 nm and the spectral resolution is = 3 nm. This paper describes the instrument an...
متن کاملContinuous phase amplification with a Sagnac interferometer
We describe a phase-amplification technique using a Sagnac interferometer. We monitor the relative phase between two paths of a precisely misaligned interferometer by measuring the average position of a split-Gaussian mode in the dark port. Although we monitor only the dark port, we show that the signal varies linearly with phase and that we can obtain similar sensitivity to balanced homodyne d...
متن کاملA two-photon and second-harmonic microscope.
Two-photon microscopy has revolutionized life sciences by enabling long-term imaging of living preparations in highly scattering tissue while minimizing photodamage. At the same time, commercial two-photon microscopes are expensive and this has prevented the widespread application of this technique to the biological community. As an alternative to commercial systems, we provide an update of our...
متن کاملAll-Fiber Interferometer for Chromatic Dispersion Measurements
Abstrucf-A new all-fiber interferometric method for chromatic dispersion measurements in meter-length single-mode fibers is presented. In a Michelson setup a reference fiber is used whose physical length is varied so as to obtain an adjustable optical delay. Time resolution, ease of manipulation, and mechanical isolation are considerably improved with respect to conventional interferometers. Re...
