Abstract
We report on the prototype and design of a new multimodal acousto-optic deflector based multiphoton/structured light microscope. The prototype features two orthogonally arranged acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) integrated into a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, enabling fast, flexible light pattern generation. Two operational modalities are supported: camera-based detection and single-pixel acquisition using an avalanche photodiode (APD) with frequency-encoded illumination. We describe the optical design, alignment procedure, and performance of both modalities, supported by experimental data from structured illumination and frequency-domain image reconstruction
期刊介绍:
Breakthroughs in the generation of light and in its control and utilization have given rise to the field of Photonics, a rapidly expanding area of science and technology with major technological and economic impact. Photonics integrates quantum electronics and optics to accelerate progress in the generation of novel photon sources and in their utilization in emerging applications at the micro and nano scales spanning from the far-infrared/THz to the x-ray region of the electromagnetic spectrum. IEEE Photonics Journal is an online-only journal dedicated to the rapid disclosure of top-quality peer-reviewed research at the forefront of all areas of photonics. Contributions addressing issues ranging from fundamental understanding to emerging technologies and applications are within the scope of the Journal. The Journal includes topics in: Photon sources from far infrared to X-rays, Photonics materials and engineered photonic structures, Integrated optics and optoelectronic, Ultrafast, attosecond, high field and short wavelength photonics, Biophotonics, including DNA photonics, Nanophotonics, Magnetophotonics, Fundamentals of light propagation and interaction; nonlinear effects, Optical data storage, Fiber optics and optical communications devices, systems, and technologies, Micro Opto Electro Mechanical Systems (MOEMS), Microwave photonics, Optical Sensors.
