Article Abstract

We propose a new super-resolution microscopy, named frequency interferometric localization microscopy (FILM). FILM is implemented by incorporating a Michelson interferometer into wide-field fluorescence microscope, which introduces coherence time as a new auxiliary axis to obtain the spectral information of individual fluorophores. After the time-wavelength transformation, the homogeneous linewidth of individual fluorophores can be isolated from the inhomogeneous broadening distribution of the fluorophore ensemble. Thus, the nearby fluorophores with a distinguishable central wavelength can be separated in the frequency domain and localized with accuracy beyond the diffraction limit. The principle of the method, experimental schematics, and reconstruction algorithm are numerically demonstrated. With properly prepared fluorophores, FILM has the potential to reach, in principle, molecular-scale spatial resolution.

Optical interferometry provides high-precision displacement and angle measurement solutions for a wide range of cutting-edge industrial applications. One of the key factors to achieve such precision lies in highly accurate optical encoder signal processing, as well as the calibration and compensation techniques customized for specific measurement principles. Optical interferometric techniques, including laser interferometry and grating interferometry, are usually classified into homodyne and heterodyne systems according to their working principles.

With advancements in radar sensors, communications, and computer technologies, alongside an increasing number of ground observation tasks, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) remote sensing is transitioning from being theory and technology-driven to being application-demand-driven. Since the late 1960s, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) theories and techniques have continued to develop. They have been applied significantly in various fields, such as in the generation of global topography maps, monitoring of ground deformation, marine observations, and disaster reduction efforts.

Photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) synergizes optical absorption contrast with ultrasonic resolution for noninvasive biomedical imaging yet faces limitations in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), resolution, and contrast. This study introduces a coherent-excitation PACT system integrating interferometric optical excitation and Frequency-Compensated Filtered Back Projection (FC-FBP) reconstruction. The proposed method utilizes phase-locked dual-pulse interferometric excitation to amplify photoacoustic emissions; for the isolated chicken heart, the resolution is improved by 7.

The stitching interferometry system of ALBA, based on a Fizeau interferometer, is robust to displacement errors and reference manufacturing errors. Nevertheless, it is very sensitive to environmental noise, particularly when measuring long mirrors. One way to reduce the impact of environmental noise is by averaging repeated measurements of the same surface area.

With the development of shock wave physics, the study of shock compression response characteristics of materials at micromesoscopic scale has been gradually deepened, which also puts forward higher performance and more dimension requirements for the diagnostic technology of transient velocity measurement. The microstructure of the surface of the material and the internal defects are usually in the scale range of tens to hundreds of micrometers, which requires high spatiotemporal resolution measurement technology. A multi-wavelength narrow linewidth CW laser was designed and a spatial dispersion probe was developed to achieve high spatial resolution measurement in a single optical fiber, which breaks through the existing close-packed scattered point measurement shortboard.
