Researchers Develop Optical Parametric Amplifier to Improve OCM Imaging Performance in Scattering Media

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has emerged as an important in vivo imaging tool in modern biology an4d medicine. It enables large imaging depth as weak scattered light signals coming from structures deep inside light scattering tissues can be efficiently detected. Another advantage is its strong coherence gate (an effective time gate) resulting in high axial resolution and optical sectioning capability, and in addition, helping to reject multiply scattered background light.

New Laser Technique for Resolving Orbits of Multiple Molecular Orbitals

A scientist in a crisp, white lab coat and protective eye goggles sits behind a safety shield, controller in hand. In front of him is a powerful titanium-sapphire laser, aimed at a crystal lens. His thumb gently squeezes the trigger on the controller. There is an imperceivable wisp of gas that is escaping from a nozzle and crossing the laser’s path. Before he can even blink his eye the laser is capable of firing more than a trillion times. On the screen a line of alternating pairs of glowing, amorphous spots appear. For the first time ever, someone has been able to peer down into the molecular level to observe simultaneously in two dimensions.
