Abstract
A parallel scanning microscopic imaging system using code division multiple access (CDMA) technology is proposed. By spatially and temporally encoding the illumination beam, and decoding the composite signal after high-speed sampling, the utilization efficiency of the detector is effectively improved, enabling parallel scanning of points at different distances with just one sensor. During 3D microscopy, there is no need to scan the axial direction. The working mechanism of the multi-address coding parallel scanning microscopic imaging system is introduced, and the implementation methods of coding and decoding are explained. According to rigorous mathematical derivations, a mathematical model of the imaging system is built, and the effectiveness of the system is verified through experiments. Moreover, we found that both the number of coding bits and power of the light source have an impact on the image quality of the system. With a 32 bits coding and a light power of 2 mW, our system achieved the highest image quality. And we tested the system's sensitivity to stray light and beam non-idealization. The experimental results show that when the proportion of stray light power is <40 % and the angle deflection of incident light is <1.5°, the imaging quality of the system is almost no longer affected by these two main factors.
期刊介绍:
Optics and Lasers in Engineering aims at providing an international forum for the interchange of information on the development of optical techniques and laser technology in engineering. Emphasis is placed on contributions targeted at the practical use of methods and devices, the development and enhancement of solutions and new theoretical concepts for experimental methods.
Optics and Lasers in Engineering reflects the main areas in which optical methods are being used and developed for an engineering environment. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers focusing on parameter optimization or computational issues are not suitable. Similarly, papers focussed on an application rather than the optical method fall outside the journal''s scope. The scope of the journal is defined to include the following:
-Optical Metrology-
Optical Methods for 3D visualization and virtual engineering-
Optical Techniques for Microsystems-
Imaging, Microscopy and Adaptive Optics-
Computational Imaging-
Laser methods in manufacturing-
Integrated optical and photonic sensors-
Optics and Photonics in Life Science-
Hyperspectral and spectroscopic methods-
Infrared and Terahertz techniques
