Two-Photon Imaging with Diffractive Optical Elements
Two-photon imaging has become a useful tool for optical monitoring of neural circuits, but it requires high laser power and serial scanning of each pixel in a sample. This results in slow imaging rates, limiting the measurements of fast signals such as neuronal activity. To improve the speed and signal-to-noise ratio of two-photon imaging, we introduce a simple modification of a two-photon micr...
متن کاملTwo-Photon Microscopy with Diffractive Optical Elements and Spatial Light Modulators
Two-photon microscopy is often performed at slow frame rates due to the need to serially scan all points in a field of view with a single laser beam. To overcome this problem, we have developed two optical methods that split and multiplex a laser beam across the sample. In the first method a diffractive optical element (DOE) generates a fixed number of beamlets that are scanned in parallel resu...
متن کاملDispersion management in two-photon microscopy by using diffractive optical elements.
We demonstrate efficient generation of wide-field fluorescence signals in two-photon microscopy exploiting diffractive optical elements and short pulses by using a dispersion-compensated beam delivery optics module. Computer-generated holograms are codified onto a phase-only spatial light modulator, which allows for arbitrary single-shot patterning of the sample. Spatiotemporal shaping of the p...
متن کاملRefractive and diffractive X-ray optical elements
The planar microelectronics technology, involving lithography and highly anisotropic plasma etching techniques, allows manufacturing high quality refractive and diffractive lenses, which may be used in hard X-ray microprobe and microscopy applications. These silicon lenses are mechanically robust and can withstand high heat load of the white Xray beam at third generation synchrotron radiation s...
متن کاملSpecial Diffractive Optical Elements for Data Encoding
With the rising use of optical communication in different commercial as well as military systems, the issue of optical data security becomes eminent. There are two approaches for dealing with this need: using known encoding methods from electronic communication or developing optical encoding methods. In the first approach, the encoding may be done electronically before converting the informatio...
