The present thesis develops some specific aspects of digital holographic microscopy (DHM), namely the effect of shot noise on the phase image accuracy, the use of DHM in micro-tomography and in aberrations evaluation of a microscope objective (MO). DHM is ...
The Investigation of highly confined light fields created by different mechanisms, such as refraction, diffraction, and scattering, are the main subject of this thesis. We distinguish a specific scattering phenomenon of dielectric microspheres from general ...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometric imaging technique that can provide depth resolved cross-sectional views of biological tissue. OCT employs light with low temporal and yet high spatial coherence. The sample is illuminated point by po ...
We developed a setup that provides three independent optical access paths to the tunnel junction of an ultrahigh vacuum low temperature (4.2 K) scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Each path can be individually chosen to couple light in or out, or to image ...
Three approaches for visualization of transparent micro-objects from holographic data using phase-only SLMs are described. The objects are silicon micro-lenses captured in the near infrared by means of digital holographic microscopy and a simulated weakly ...
We review coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) holography as a non-scanning, label-free, three-dimensional imaging technique. The theory of CARS and its integration with digital holography is explored. We then discuss the experimental implementatio ...
Microlenses are widely studied in two main areas: fabrication and characterization. Nowadays, characterization draws more attention because it is difficult to apply test techniques to microlenses that are used for conventional optical systems. Especially, ...
A simple and easy shape-controllable approach is demonstrated for the fabrication of parabolic-shaped polymer microlenses (mu-lenses), which are widely used in bio-imaging systems such as microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip systems for improving the image quali ...
Adaptive optics is used to abate aberrations with a wavefront correction. It is widely used in astronomy and is starting to expand into applications of laser focusing and imaging with high numerical apertures, e.g. microscopy. The physical background of fo ...
High capacity data storage on DVD and optical discs is based on focused light beams. The characterization of light fields within the focus point is a very difficult task, which requires a high-resolution method like scanning near field optical microscopy ( ...
