We propose a tunable reflective Fourier ptychographic microscopy approach in which the resolution and field of view are variable with different objective lenses and a digital micromirror device. Several objective lenses are applied to tunable reflective Fourier ptychographic microscopy without additional optical alignment while also enhancing the resolution. To demonstrate the feasibility of the new technique, tunable reflective Fourier ptychographic microscopy with 10 × and 50 × objective lenses is demonstrated. Moreover, we compare the resolution of the new technique and conventional Fourier ptychographic microscopy to verify the improved resolution of the new technique.
In digital holographic microscopy, the aperture synthesis technique improves resolution by extending the Fourier spectral area beyond the numerical aperture of the objective lens. We propose a method to locate the shifted spectra with subpixel accuracy at high speed. When spectra are synthesized at wrong locations, the synthesized image is distorted, for example, the intensity in the outer area is attenuated, limiting the field of view. We propose an accuracy criterion for the location of the spectra required to reduce this effect below a certain level. Then we calculated each spectral shift from the unscattered component with subpixel accuracy and resampled them so that their spacing became an integer in pixels. We demonstrated this method experimentally and achieved high-quality synthesized image with uniform intensity over the entire area. This method is fast compared to the others because the data used in the calculation are small and the process is simple.
In KAIST, Kumgang laser is being developed for demonstration of the kW level coherent beam combination using
stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugation mirrors. It will combine 4 modules of DPSSL rod amplifier which
produces 1 kW output power. It is composed of the single frequency front-end, pre-amplifier module, and main amplifier.
The output powers of the pre-amp and main amplifier module are 200 W (20 mJ @ 10 kHz / 10 ns) and 1.07kW (107 mJ
@ 10 kHz / 10 ns), respectively.
An Fourier Transform Infra-Red(FTIR) spectrometry has played an significant role in a variety of fields in recent years.
In particular, FTIR spectrometer technology has been adopted in passive remote sensing system to predict detection
probabilities of stand-off hazardous compounds. There are three steps to detect hazardous compounds. Firstly, MODerate
spectral resolution atmospheric TRANsmittance(MODTRAN) algorithm is used to calculate spectral radiances of
background and atmosphere affected by hazardous compounds. It transfers a difference of spectral radiance between
background and hazardous compounds existing region to FTIR spectroscopy system. Secondly, FTIR spectrometry
system collects an interferogram which represents spectral radiances respective to given time intervals (reciprocal of
wavenumber) and sends it to signal processing part. Lastly, the signal processing part performs Fourier Transformation
on the interferogram and identifies the spectral radiance with reference data from gas library by using Spectral Angle
Mapper(SAM) algorithm which results in visualizing the hazardous gases.
However, there are some noises which affect the interferogram and the spectrum in practice. Specifically, there are two
main noises which have critical effects on the interferogram and the spectrum by reducing its Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR)
such as detector noise, jitter of moving mirror and optics misalignment.
In this paper, a theory of the effects of the detector noise and the jitter of moving mirror on the interferogram and its
demonstration through simulation are presented.
