Two-wavelength holographic micro-endoscopy.

In this paper, we present a method for micro-endoscopic topography measurement utilizing two-wavelength holography. Initially, we evaluate the inter-core dispersion and cross-talk of two commercially available imaging fiber bundles (CFBs) and introduce the concept of virtual surface roughness as a limiting factor of achievable measurement resolution. Subsequently, we describe a micro-endoscope setup incorporating 3D-printed micro-optics, resulting in a total diameter of less than 450 µm.

Features for Evaluating Source Localization Effectiveness in Sound Maps from Acoustic Cameras.

Acoustic cameras (ACs) have become very popular in the last decade as an increasing number of applications in environmental acoustics are observed, which are mainly used to display the points of greatest noise emission of one or more sound sources. The results obtained are not yet certifiable because the beamforming algorithms or hardware behave differently under different measurement conditions, but at present, not enough studies have been dedicated to clarify the issues. The present study aims to provide a methodology to extract analytical features from sound maps obtained with ACs, which are generally only visual information.

Lensless imaging in one shot using the complex degree of coherence obtained by multiaperture interferences.

The van Cittert-Zernike theorem states that the Fourier transform of the intensity distribution function of a distant, incoherent source is equal to the complex degree of coherence. In this Letter, we present a method for measuring the complex degree of coherence in one shot by recording the interference patterns produced by multiple aperture pairs. The intensity of the sample is obtained by Fourier transforming the complex degree of coherence.

Lensless microscopy by multiplane recordings: sub-micrometer, diffraction-limited, wide field-of-view imaging.

Lensless microscopy is attractive because lenses are often large, heavy and expensive. We report diffraction-limited, sub-micrometer resolution in a lensless imaging system that does not need a reference wave and imposes few restrictions on the density of the sample. We use measurements of the intensity of light scattered by the sample at multiple heights above the sample and a modified Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm to reconstruct the phase of the optical field.

Advantages of holographic imaging through fog.

In this paper, we demonstrate digital holographic imaging through a 27-m-long fog tube filled with ultrasonically generated fog. Its high sensitivity makes holography a powerful technology for imaging through scattering media. With our large-scale experiments, we investigate the potential of holographic imaging for road traffic applications, where autonomous driving vehicles require reliable environmental perception in all weather conditions.
