    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for imaging using complex lasers. In general, a complex laser may be used as an electromagnetic source for an imaging application. The use of a lower spatial coherence configured complex laser in imaging applications may advantageously mitigate coherent artifacts in imaging such as cross-talk and speckle and improve overall image quality. Imaging applications where a complex laser may be useful include both incoherent imaging applications, such as digital light projectors and traditional microscopy, and coherent imaging applications, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) and holography. The systems and methods provided also enable controlling the degree of spatial coherence of a complex laser.

    摘要: A complex conjugate ambiguity can be resolved in an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) interferogram. A reference light signal is propagated along a reference path. A sample light signal is impinged on a sample reflector. The reference light signal is frequency shifted with respect to the sample light signal to thereby separate a positive and a negative displacement of a complex conjugate component of the OCT interferogram.

    摘要: A quadrature broadband interferometry system and method obtains a complete complex interferometric signal instantaneously in both homodyne and heterodyne systems in a simple, compact, and inexpensive setup. This is accomplished by separating interferometric components from non-interferometric components in each of at least two detector signals of an interferometer having a number of N×N couplers, scaling the interferometric components, and generating real and imaginary parts of a complex interferometric signal from the scaled interferometric components. The detector signals preferably derive from a broadband light source coupled to the interferometer, and the number of N×N couplers may be one or more, with N≧3.
