Phase imaging is widely used in biomedical imaging, sensing, and material characterization, among other fields. However, direct imaging of phase objects with subwavelength resolution remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate subwavelength…
Exoplanet detection and characterization through extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) is a key science goal of future extremely large telescopes. This achievement, however, will be limited in sensitivity by both quasi-static wavefront errors and…
A widely tested approach to overcoming the diffraction limit in microscopy without disturbing the sample relies on substituting widefield sample illumination with a structured light beam. This gives rise to confocal, image-scanning and…
Fluorescence polarization microscopy images both the intensity and orientation of fluorescent dipoles, which plays a vital role in studying the molecular structure and dynamics of bio-complex. However, it is difficult to resolve the dipole…
The need for precise manipulation of nanoparticles in gaseous or near-vacuum environments is encountered in many studies that include aerosol morphology, nanodroplet physics, nanoscale optomechanics, and biomolecular physics. Photophoretic…
Fluorescence microscopy (FM) imaging is a fundamental technique for observing live cell division, one of the most essential processes in the cycle of life and death. Observing 3D live cells requires scanning through the cell volume while…
An optical microscope enables image-based findings and diagnosis on microscopic targets, which is indispensable in many scientific, industrial and medical settings. Majority of microscope users are accustomed to standard benchtop…
An improved method of remote optical absorption spectroscopy and hyperspectral optical absorption imaging is described which takes advantage of the photoacoustic remote sensing detection architecture. A wide range of photoacoustic…
In recent years several far-field microscopy techniques have been developed which manage to overcome the diffraction limit of resolution. A unifying classification scheme for them is clearly desirable. We argue that existing schemes based…
Compared with conventional grating-based spectrometers, reconstructive spectrometers based on spectrally engineered filtering have the advantage of miniaturization because of the less demand for dispersive optics and free propagation space.…
Confocal laser-scanning microscopy (CLSM) is one of the most popular optical architectures for fluorescence imaging. In CLSM, a focused laser beam excites the fluorescence emission from a specific specimen position. Some actuators scan the…
We report on a novel detection system for collinear laser spectroscopy which provides an almost $4\pi$ solid angle for fluorescence photon detection by employing curved surface mirrors. Additional parabolic angular filters offer passive…
Aberrations limit scanning fluorescence microscopy when imaging in scattering materials such as biological tissue. Model-based approaches for adaptive optics take advantage of a computational model of the optical setup. Such models can be…
Super-resolution mapping of the 3D orientation of fluorophores reveals the alignment of biological structures where the fluorophores are tightly attached, and thus plays a vital role in studying the organization and dynamics of…
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy allows direct visualization and experimental determination of the electronic structure of crystals in the momentum space, including the precise characterization of the Fermi surface and the…
Surface topography dictates the deterministic functionality of diffraction by a surface. In order to maximize the efficiency with which a diffractive optical component, such as a grating or a diffractive lens, directs light into a chosen…
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) stands out as one of the most widely used microscopy techniques, thanks to its three-dimensional imaging capability and its sub-diffraction spatial resolution, achieved through the closure of a…
Focal plane wavefront sensing is an elegant solution for wavefront sensing since near-focal images of any source taken by a detector show distortions in the presence of aberrations. Non-Common Path Aberrations and the Low Wind Effect both…
Immunofluorescent (IF) imaging is crucial for visualizing biomarker expressions, cell morphology and assessing the effects of drug treatments on sub-cellular components. IF imaging needs extra staining process and often requiring cell…
Angular filter refractometry is an optical diagnostic that measures absolute contours of line-integrated density gradient by placing a filter with alternating opaque and transparent zones in the focal plane of a probe beam, which produce…
