Detailed Technology Description

This process combines electronic and optical phase conjugation. Typically there is an efficiency limitation due to phase conjugation relying on nonlinear optical processes. However, this is resolved by introducing electronic phase conjugation (E-OPC) as a complementary method. OPC defines a special relationship between two coherent optical beams propagating in opposite directions with reversed wavefronts and identical transverse amplitude distributions. The two-step process of E-OPC begins by measuring the wavefront of the signal wave (fluorescence) using a reference beam and charge-coupled device (CCD) arrays so that both quadratures of the wavefront are measured. The measured wavefront is then conjugated in the electrical domain and applied to a spatial modulator array that generates the phase modulated beam to back propagate to the sample. E-OPC removes the wavelength and efficiency limitation as CCDΓÇÖs respond over a broad spectrum, and provides the unique ability to remove aberrations due to a turbid medium.
