Single-pixel cameras reconstruct images from a stream of spatial projection measurements recorded with a single-element detector, which itself has no spatial resolution. This enables the creation of imaging systems that can take advantage of the ultra-fast response times of single-element detectors. Here we present a single-pixel camera with a temporal resolution of 200 ps in the visible and short-wave infrared wavelengths, used here to study the transit time of distinct spatial modes transmitted through few-mode and orbital angular momentum mode conserving optical fiber. Our technique represents a way to study the spatial and temporal characteristics of light propagation in multimode optical fibers, which may find use in optical fiber design and communications.

Spinning coding masks, recognized for their fast modulation rate and cost-effectiveness, are now often used in real-time single-pixel imaging (SPI). However, in the photon-counting regime, they encounter difficulties in synchronization between the coding mask patterns and the photon detector, unlike digital micromirror devices. To address this issue, we propose a scheme that assumes a constant disk rotation speed throughout each cycle and models photon detection as a non-homogeneous Poisson process (NHPP).

The object and the camera are often placed at conjugate planes to ensure correlated illumination patterns. Here, we show how the combined effect of optical reciprocity and the memory effect in a random medium gives rise to correlations between two beams that traverse the random medium in opposite directions.

There exists a growing interest in developing strategies to enhance throughput and reduce acquisition time of FLIM systems, which commonly employ laser scanning excitation and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) detection. In this work, we propose a wide-field FLIM microscope based on compressive sensing and high photon rate detection (beyond pile-up limit) based on a high-efficiency silicon photomultiplier detector as a single-pixel camera.

Article Synopsis
- Traditional autofocusing methods involve handling large image sequences, which slows down the process and increases costs.
- A new technique proposed uses geometric moments acquired through a single-pixel detector to focus in real-time without needing to store or process many images.
- This method is faster and more stable against noise, making it ideal for applications in low-light and near-infrared imaging.

The increasing demand for energy-efficient, sophisticated optical sensing technologies in various applications, from machine vision to optical communication, highlights the necessity for innovations in spatiotemporal information sensing and processing at a nearly single-pixel scale. Traditional methods, including multi-pixel photodetector arrays and event-based camera systems, often fail to provide rapid, real-time detection and processing of dynamic events within the sensor. This shortcoming is particularly notable in handling high-dimensional spatiotemporal data, where the dependency on sequential data input and external processing tools leads to latency, reduced throughput, and heightened energy consumption, thereby impeding real-time parallel data processing capabilities.
