Dense Disparity Estimation from Omnidirectional Images

This paper addresses the problem of dense estimation of disparities between omnidirectional images, in a spherical framework. Omnidirectional imaging certainly represents important advantages for the representation and processing of the plenoptic function ...

Fast focus field calculations

Theo Lasser, Marcel Leutenegger, Rainer Leitgeb, Ramachandra Rao

We present a fast calculation of the electromagnetic field near the focus of an objective with a high numerical aperture (NA). Instead of direct integration, the vectorial Debye diffraction integral is evaluated with the fast Fourier transform for calculat ...

Extended focus depth for Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy

Theo Lasser, Rainer Leitgeb, Martin Villiger, Adrian Bachmann, Lukas Steinmann

We report on a new detection scheme for Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy that exhibits high transverse resolution along an axially extended focal range. Nearly constant transverse resolution of ∼1.5 μm along a focal range of 200 μm is experiment ...

Emerging light fields from liquid crystal microlenses

Toralf Scharf

Liquid crystal (LC) microlenses have a variable focal length with a change in applied voltage. These lenses have suitable dimensions and focal length variations for a wide range of applications where the absence of moving parts is favored. In this article ...

On the chromatic aberration of microlenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf

The optical properties of plano-convex refractive microlenses with low Fresnel Number (typically FN < 10) are investigated. It turns out that diffraction effects at the lens aperture limit the range of the effective focal length. The upper limit of the foc ...

Joint Texture and Topography Estimation for Extended Depth of Field in Brightfield Microscopy

Michaël Unser, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, François Aguet

Brightfield microscopy often suffers from limited depth of field, which prevents thick specimens from being imaged entirely in-focus. By optically sectioning the specimen, the in-focus regions can be acquired over multiple images. Extended depth of field m ...

Nanometer focusing properties of Fresnel zone plates described by dynamical diffraction theory

Christian David

The x-ray focusing properties of linear Fresnel zone plates have been derived by solving the Helmholtz equation for the field propagating through the zones. We consider the imaging of a point object into the first diffraction order of a volume zone plate h ...

Confining the sampling volume for Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy using a sub-wavelength sized aperture

Olivier Martin, Theo Lasser, Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Marcel Leutenegger

For the observation of single molecule dynamics with fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) very low fluorophore concentrations are necessary. For in vitro measurements, this requirement is easy to fulfill. In biology however, micromolar concentration ...

Parallel Fourier domain optical coherence tomography for in vivo measurement of the human eye

Rainer Leitgeb

A parallel Frequency Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (FD-OCT) system and - to the best of our knowledge- first in vivo tomograms obtained with such system are presented. A full tomogram of 256(x) x 512(z) pixels covering a sample region of 8 mm x 3,8 m ...
