Memory effect assisted imaging through multimode optical fibres.

ABSTRACT: When light propagates through opaque material, the spatial information it holds becomes scrambled, but not necessarily lost. Two classes of techniques have emerged to recover this information: methods relying on optical memory effects, and transmission matrix (TM) approaches. Here we develop a general framework describing the nature of memory effects in structures of arbitrary geometry. We show how this framework, when combined with wavefront shaping driven by feedback from a guide-star, enables estimation of the TM of any such system. This highlights that guide-star assisted imaging is possible regardless of the type of memory effect a scatterer exhibits. We apply this concept to multimode fibres (MMFs) and identify a 'quasi-radial' memory effect. This allows the TM of an MMF to be approximated from only one end - an important step for micro-endoscopy. Our work broadens the applications of memory effects to a range of novel imaging and optical communication scenarios.

Speckle-correlation imaging through a kaleidoscopic multimode fiber.

Project description:Speckle-correlation imaging techniques are widely used for noninvasive imaging through complex scattering media. While light propagation through multimode fibers and scattering media share many analogies, reconstructing images through multimode fibers from speckle correlations remains an unsolved challenge. Here, we exploit a kaleidoscopic memory effect emerging in square-core multimode fibers and demonstrate fluorescence imaging with no prior knowledge on the fiber. Experimentally, our approach simply requires to translate random speckle patterns at the input of a square-core fiber and to measure the resulting fluorescence intensity with a bucket detector. The image of the fluorescent object is then reconstructed from the autocorrelation of the measured signal by solving an inverse problem. This strategy does not require the knowledge of the fragile deterministic relation between input and output fields, which makes it promising for the development of flexible minimally invasive endoscopes.

Ballistic and snake photon imaging for locating optical endomicroscopy fibres.

Project description:We demonstrate determination of the location of the distal-end of a fibre-optic device deep in tissue through the imaging of ballistic and snake photons using a time resolved single-photon detector array. The fibre was imaged with centimetre resolution, within clinically relevant settings and models. This technique can overcome the limitations imposed by tissue scattering in optically determining the in vivo location of fibre-optic medical instruments.

Confocal 3D reflectance imaging through multimode fiber without wavefront shaping.

Project description:Imaging through optical multimode fiber (MMF) has the potential to enable hair-thin endoscopes that reduce the invasiveness of imaging deep inside tissues and organs. Active wavefront shaping and fluorescent labeling have recently been exploited to overcome modal scrambling and enable MMF imaging. Here, we present a computational approach that circumvents the need for active wavefront control and exogenous fluorophores. We demonstrate the reconstruction of depth-gated confocal images through MMF using a raster-scanned, focused input illumination at the fiber proximal end. We show the compatibility of this approach with quantitative phase, dark-field, and polarimetric imaging. Computational imaging through MMF opens a new pathway for minimally invasive imaging in medical diagnosis and biological investigations.

Scanner-free and wide-field endoscopic imaging by using a single multimode optical fiber.

Project description:A single multimode fiber is considered an ideal optical element for endoscopic imaging due to the possibility of direct image transmission via multiple spatial modes. However, the wave distortion induced by the mode dispersion has been a fundamental limitation. In this Letter, we propose a method for eliminating the effect of mode dispersion and therefore realize wide-field endoscopic imaging by using only a single multimode fiber with no scanner attached to the fiber. Our method will potentially revolutionize endoscopy in various fields encompassing medicine and industry.

Polarization memory effect in optical coherence tomography and dental imaging application.

Project description:We report the existence of polarization memory effect (PME) in optical coherence tomography and investigate its potential applications in dental imaging. We performed the study in three steps. First, microsphere scattering phantoms of different sizes were imaged in order to validate experimental results with PME theory. Both linearly and circularly polarized light were used to probe the samples. Second, healthy tooth samples were scanned and polarization memory effect was identified in dentin. In this step, specific verification and signal processing were performed to rule out possible image interpretation by birefringence effect. Third, we evaluated dentin demineralization with PME. Results show polarization memory can be useful to characterize this dynamic mineralization process for early caries detection and rehabilitation.

Efficient dispersion modeling in optical multimode fiber.

Project description:Dispersion remains an enduring challenge for the characterization of wavelength-dependent transmission through optical multimode fiber (MMF). Beyond a small spectral correlation width, a change in wavelength elicits a seemingly independent distribution of the transmitted field. Here we report on a parametric dispersion model that describes mode mixing in MMF as an exponential map and extends the concept of principal modes to describe the fiber's spectrally resolved transmission matrix (TM). We present computational methods to fit the model to measurements at only a few, judiciously selected, discrete wavelengths. We validate the model in various MMF and demonstrate an accurate estimation of the full TM across a broad spectral bandwidth, approaching the bandwidth of the best-performing principal modes, and exceeding the original spectral correlation width by more than two orders of magnitude. The model allows us to conveniently study the spectral behavior of principal modes, and obviates the need for dense spectral measurements, enabling highly efficient reconstruction of the multispectral TM of MMF.

Optical circulation in a multimode optomechanical resonator.

Project description:Breaking the symmetry of electromagnetic wave propagation enables important technological functionality. In particular, circulators are nonreciprocal components that can route photons directionally in classical or quantum photonic circuits and offer prospects for fundamental research on electromagnetic transport. Developing highly efficient circulators thus presents an important challenge, especially to realise compact reconfigurable implementations that do not rely on magnetic fields to break reciprocity. We demonstrate optical circulation utilising radiation pressure interactions in an on-chip multimode optomechanical system. Mechanically mediated optical mode conversion in a silica microtoroid provides a synthetic gauge bias for light, enabling four-port circulation that exploits tailored interference between appropriate light paths. We identify two sideband conditions under which ideal circulation is approached. This allows to experimentally demonstrate ~10 dB isolation and <3 dB insertion loss in all relevant channels. We show the possibility of actively controlling the circulator properties, enabling ideal opportunities for reconfigurable integrated nanophotonic circuits.

Swept-source multimode fiber imaging.

Project description:High-resolution compressive imaging via a flexible multimode fiber is demonstrated using a swept-laser source and wavelength dependent speckle illumination. An in-house built swept-source allowing for independent control of bandwidth and scanning range is used to explore and demonstrate a mechanically scan-free approach for high-resolution imaging through an ultrathin and flexible fiber probe. The computational image reconstruction is shown by utilizing a narrow sweeping bandwidth of [Formula: see text] nm while acquisition time is decreased by 95% compared to conventional raster scanning endoscopy. Demonstrated narrow-band illumination in the visible spectrum is vital for the detection of fluorescence biomarkers in neuroimaging applications. The proposed approach yields device simplicity and flexibility for minimally invasive endoscopy.

Multimode optical fiber specklegram smart bed sensor array.

Project description:SignificanceMonitoring the movement and vital signs of patients in hospitals and other healthcare environments is a significant burden on healthcare staff. Early warning systems using smart bed sensors hold promise to relieve this burden and improve patient outcomes. We propose a scalable and cost-effective optical fiber sensor array that can be embedded into a mattress to detect movement, both sensitively and spatially.AimProof-of-concept demonstration that a multimode optical fiber (MMF) specklegram sensor array can be used to detect and image movement on a bed.ApproachSeven MMFs are attached to the upper surface of a mattress such that they cross in a 3 × 4 array. The specklegram output is monitored using a single laser and single camera and movement on the fibers is monitored by calculating a rolling zero-normalized cross-correlation. A 3 × 4 image is formed by comparing the signal at each crossing point between two fibers.ResultsThe MMF sensor array can detect and image movement on a bed, including getting on and off the bed, rolling on the bed, and breathing.ConclusionsThe sensor array shows a high sensitivity to movement, which can be used for monitoring physiological parameters and patient movement for potential applications in healthcare settings.

Optical imaging through dynamic turbid media using the Fourier-domain shower-curtain effect.

Project description:Several phenomena have been recently exploited to circumvent scattering and have succeeded in imaging or focusing light through turbid layers. However, the requirement for the turbid medium to be steady during the imaging process remains a fundamental limitation of these methods. Here we introduce an optical imaging modality that overcomes this challenge by taking advantage of the so-called shower-curtain effect, adapted to the spatial-frequency domain via speckle correlography. We present high resolution imaging of objects hidden behind millimeter-thick tissue or dense lens cataracts. We demonstrate our imaging technique to be insensitive to rapid medium movements (> 5 m/s) beyond any biologically-relevant motion. Furthermore, we show this method can be extended to several contrast mechanisms and imaging configurations.
