Using the structured illumination, single pixel detection imaging technique SPatIal Frequency modulation Imaging (SPIFI), we demonstrate a cascaded Wavelength Domain and Spatial Domain (WD-SD-SPIFI) system enabling real-time, in-line, second order dispersion compensation optimization for multiphoton imaging. Enhanced resolution is demonstrated by imaging a sub-diffractive 140 nm fluorescent nanodiamond with Two Photon Excitation Fluorescence (2PEF) to measure the Point Spread Function (PSF). With a 1034 nm pulsed laser through a Numerical Aperture (NA) of 0.5, a PSF Full Width at Half Max (FWHM) of 780 nm was measured with minimal post processing analysis that only requires Fast Fourier Transforms (FFTs).
Spatial frequency modulation imaging (SPIFI) is a structured illumination single pixel imaging technique that is most often achieved via a rotating modulation disk. This implementation produces line images with exposure times on the order of tens of milliseconds. Here, we present a new architecture for SPIFI using a polygonal scan mirror with the following advances: (1) reducing SPIFI line image exposure times by 2 orders of magnitude, (2) facet-to-facet measurement and correction for polygonal scan design, and (3) a new anamorphic magnification scheme that improves resolution for long working distance optics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
