Spatially resolved absolute diffuse reflectance measurements for noninvasive determination of the optical scattering and absorption coefficients of biological tissue

The absorption and transport scattering coefficients of biological tissues determine the radial dependence of the diffuse reflectance that is due to a point source. A system is described for making remote measurements of spatially resolved absolute diffuse reflectance and hence noninvasive, noncontact estimates of the tissue optical properties. The system incorporated a laser source and a CCD camera. Deflection of the incident beam into the camera allowed characterization of the source for absolute reflectance measurements. It is shown that an often used solution of the diffusion equation cannot be applied for these measurements. Instead, a neural network, trained on the results of Monte Carlo simulations, was used to estimate the absorption and scattering coefficients from the reflectance data. Tests on tissue-simulating phantoms with transport scattering coefficients between 0.5 and 2.0 mm(-1) and absorption coefficients between 0.002 and 0.1 mm(-1) showed the rms errors of this technique to be 2.6% for the transport scattering coefficient and 14% for the absorption coefficients. The optical properties of bovine muscle, adipose, and liver tissue, as well as chicken muscle (breast), were also measured ex vivo at 633 and 751 nm. For muscle tissue it was found that the Monte Carlo simulation did not agree with experimental measurements of reflectance at distances less than 2 mm from the incident beam.     

Magneto-optic microscope for visually detecting subsurface defects

A visual test method for detecting microdefects under fine surfaces is described. A new MO microscope that has a laser source, a CCD camera, and an exciting coil is developed for this work. A pulse generator supplies an intermittent square pulse to the exciting coil, which can intensify eddy currents yet reduce the working temperature of the exciting coil and sample. The magnetic field variation produced by the imbedded defect causes a rotation of the polarization plane of the reflected beam. Therefore the reflected beam carries an image of the defect, which is received by a CCD camera. The optical arrangement guarantees that no light is reflected back to the laser. The system was tested with a calibrator, which has an artificial subsurface defect; such a test attains a visual detected image. To our knowledge this is the first time an image of a subsurface defect has been distinctly detected with a MO sensor system.

Optimum control of the laser beam intensity profile with a deformable mirror

A new deformable mirror control system is developed. This system consists of a deformable mirror, a CCD camera, an image processor, a computer, and actuator drive power supplies.

Although the transfer function of this system is complicated and unknown, this system can be used to obtain the optimum beam profile within the achievable limits of a deformable mirror.

Endoscopic double-pulse electronic-speckle-pattern interferometer for technical and medical intracavity inspection

An endoscope electronic-speckle-pattern interferometer (ESPI) camera system is presented that can be applied to examinations of technical objects as well as for in vitro and in vivo minimal invasive medical diagnostics. Integration of optical fibers for the guidance of a cw-laser beam and an endoscopic imaging system yield a compact ESPI system that opens up new possibilities for highly sensitive interferometric intracavity inspection under handheld conditions. A CCD camera in combination with a fast frame-grabber system allows dynamic image subtractions at a frequency rate of as much as 25 Hz with high fringe contrast. Results from investigations of technical objects and biological objects in vitro and in vivo are obtained. In endoscopic minimal invasive therapy this method could substitute for the missing operator's tactile contact with the treated tissue by replacing it with visual information (endoscopic taction).     

Electronic speckle pattern shearing interferometer with a photopolymer holographic grating

A photopolymer holographic grating is used to produce the two sheared images in an electronic speckle pattern shearing interferometer. A ground glass screen following the grating eliminates unwanted diffraction orders and removes the requirement for the CCD camera to resolve the diffraction grating's pitch. The sheared images on the ground glass are further imaged onto the CCD camera. The fringe pattern contrast was estimated to be above 90%. A validation of the system was done by comparing the theoretical phase difference distribution with the experimental data from the three-point bending test.     

Optical alignment system for the PHENIX muon tracking chambers

A micron-precision optical alignment system (OASys) for the PHENIX muon tracking chambers is developed. To ensure the required mass resolution of vector meson detection, the relative alignment between three tracking station chambers must be monitored with a precision of 25 μm. The OASys is a straightness monitoring system comprised of a light source, lens and CCD camera, used for determining the initial placement as well as for monitoring the time dependent movement of the chambers on a micron scale.     

Three-dimensional measurement of distant objects based on laser-projected CCD images

A novel measuring system based on a single CCD camera and two laser projectors to record images and perform three-dimensional measurement of a distant object is proposed here. Because of the alignment of the laser beams which form in parallel with the optical axis of the CCD camera, projected spots will appear on the same scan line in a CCD image. As a result processing of a single scan line rather than the whole image is only required to identify the projected spots in the CCD image. Complex computation of video signals of the whole image via either pattern recognition or image analysis methods is therefore circumvented. On the basic of an established relationship between the distance and pixel counts between the projected spots in the CCD image, the proposed system not only measures the distance from a distant object but also the length of two arbitrarily designated points on the object. To provide better accuracy, intrinsic parameters of the CCD camera are taken into consideration in the measurement. Furthermore, the effect of laser diffusion is also proved to be irrelevant to the measuring accuracy here. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed measuring method is capable of yielding accurate results of three-dimensional measurement for a distant object in a very responsive way.

Simple interferometric fringe stabilization by charge-coupled-device-based feedback control

A method for producing stabilized interference patterns for ultraviolet interference lithography using a CCD camera as the detector element is described. Intensity data obtained from the CCD element are filtered in software to minimize speckle and detector noise effects as well as to determine the relative phase of the interfering beams. A control signal is then issued to correct the fringe drift. The system allows rapid reconfiguration of the lithography setup with minimum realignment of optical components.     

Microscopic transmission ellipsometry: measurement of the fibril angle and the relative phase retardation of single, intact wood pulp fibers

A new technique based on transmission intensity-quotient ellipsometry has been developed for determining the fibril angle and the relative phase retardation of single, intact pulp fibers. The method uses a polarizing microscope in conjunction with a microscope video camera or CCD camera. Requiring no sample pretreatment, the new method is simple, fast, more accurate than existing methods, and nondestructive of the fiber material. To test the new method, we employed the multiwavelength measurement principle. It is based on the fact that the fibril angle is independent of wavelength, while the relative retardation is inversely proportional to the wavelength used. Measurements were carried out with single pulp fibers as samples under the illumination of different light wavelengths. The measurements and some results are described and presented.
