The capacity of a printing system to accurately reproduce details has an impact on the quality of printed images. The ability of a system to reproduce details is captured in its modulation transfer function (MTF). In the first part of this work, we compare ...
This thesis presents a novel approach for optical tri-dimensional contouring, requiring only one acquisition to extract a contour depth. It is based on an interferometric setup, using a reduced coherence light source, and is fully adaptable to endoscopic p ...
In a recent paper by Kovalev et al [Optics Express 17, 17317 (2009)] the coupled equations describing stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) were solved in the Fourier domain. The main conclusion driven by the authors was that SBS pump spectral broadening w ...
We present a novel Fourier domain method for microscopic imaging - so- called k-microscopy - with lateral resolution independent of the detection numerical aperture. The concept is based on sample illumination by a lateral fringe- pattern of varying spatia ...
In this communication we introduce a low or reduced coherence interferometry technique that can be used to retrieve surface topology on samples with high roughness. Moreover, we will show that the approach enables surface topology measurement also at the i ...

Based on a Debye integral approach, we engineered an extended focal field distribution for Fourier domain optical coherence microscopy. This simulation optimizes beam con- figurations for high lateral resolution combined with extended depth of field. ...
A novel magnetic actuated polymer optical platform is integrated into lamellar grating and Michelson type Fourier transform spectrometers. The proposed advantages of the novel platform over existing approaches, such as MEMS spectrometers, or bulky FTIR sys ...
Fourier domain Optical coherence microscopy (FDOCM) offers excellent sensitivity and high axial resolution to image the structure of biological tissue. The depth information is extracted in parallel and allows very high volume acquisition rates. The presen ...
We introduce a novel microscopy method of probing the spatial frequencies of a two dimensional sample with a single point detector allowing for sub- micron resolution with low NA lenses as well as for lateral phase resolution in the nanometer range. We syn ...
Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography FDOCT is a recent imaging technique based on the principle of Low Coherence Interferometry. In FDOCT cross-sectional images of diffusing objects are synthesised from a measure of backscattered light. The main adv ...
