The spatial light modulator that we use here is a liquid crystal on a silicon device instead of a conversional deformable mirror. A paper with carbon granule is used to simulate the retina of human eye. The pupil size of the model eye is adjustable （3-7mm）. A Shack-Hartman wave-front sensor is used to detect the wave-front aberration. With this construction, a value of peak-to-valley is achieved to be 0.086 A, where A is wavelength. The modulation transfer functions before and after corrections are compared. And the resolution of this system after correction （691p/m） is very close to the diffraction limit resolution. The carbon granule on the white paper which has a size of 4.7μm is seen clearly. The size of the retina cell is between 4 and 10 μm. So this system has an ability to image the human eye＇s retina.展开更多

Aiming to reduce distressing feelings and to avoid potential drug induced diseases, we attempted to image retina with dilated pupil and froze accommodation without drugs. An optimized liquid crystal adaptive optics camera was adopted for retinal imaging. A novel eye stared system was used for stimulating accommodation and fixating imaging area. Illumination sources and imaging camera kept linkage for focusing and imaging different layers. Four subjects with diverse degree of myopia were imaged. Based on the optical properties of the human eye, the eye stared system reduced the defocus to less than the typical ocular depth of focus. In this way, the illumination light can be projected on certain retina layer precisely. Since that the defocus had been compensated by the eye stared system, the adopted 512 × 512 liquid crystal spatial light modulator （LC-SLM） corrector provided the crucial spatial fidelity to fully compensate high-order aberrations. The Strehl ratio of a subject with -8 diopter myopia was improved to 0.78, which was nearly close to diffraction-limited imaging. By finely adjusting the axial displacement of illumination sources and imaging camera, cone photoreceptors, blood vessels and nerve fiber layer were clearly imaged successfully.展开更多

文摘Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy(FPM)is a high-throughput computational optical imaging technology reported in 2013.It effectively breaks through the trade-off between high-resolution imaging and wide-field imaging.In recent years,it has been found that FPM is not only a tool to break through the trade-off between field of view and spatial resolution,but also a paradigm to break through those trade-off problems,thus attracting extensive attention.Compared with previous reviews,this review does not introduce its concept,basic principles,optical system and series of applications once again,but focuses on elaborating the three major difficulties faced by FPM technology in the process from“looking good”in the laboratory to“working well”in practical applications:mismatch between numerical model and physical reality,long reconstruction time and high computing power demand,and lack of multi-modal expansion.It introduces how to achieve key technological innovations in FPM through the dual drive of Artificial Intelligence(AI)and physics,including intelligent reconstruction algorithms introducing machine learning concepts,optical-algorithm co-design,fusion of frequency domain extrapolation methods and generative adversarial networks,multi-modal imaging schemes and data fusion enhancement,etc.,gradually solving the difficulties of FPM technology.Conversely,this review deeply considers the unique value of FPM technology in potentially feeding back to the development of“AI+optics”,such as providing AI benchmark tests under physical constraints,inspirations for the balance of computing power and bandwidth in miniaturized intelligent microscopes,and photoelectric hybrid architectures.Finally,it introduces the industrialization path and frontier directions of FPM technology,pointing out that with the promotion of the dual drive of AI and physics,it will generate a large number of industrial application case,and looks forward to the possibilities of future application scenarios and expansions,for instance,body fluid biopsy and point-of-care testing at the grassroots level represent the expansion of the growth market.

文摘Adaptive optics(AO)is essential for high-quality ground-based observations with large telescopes because it counters the impact of wavefront aberrations caused by atmospheric turbulence.The new vacuum solar telescope(NVST)is one of the most important high-resolution solar observation instruments in the world.Three sets of solar adaptive optics systems have been developed and installed on this telescope:conventional adaptive optics,ground layer adaptive optics,and multi-conjugate adaptive optics.These have been in operation from 2018 to 2023.This paper details the development and application of solar adaptive optics on the NVST and discusses the newest instrumentation.

文摘Achieving high-level integration of composite micro-nano structures with different structural characteristics through a minimalist and universal process has long been the goal pursued by advanced manufacturing research but is rarely explored due to the absence of instructive mechanisms.Here,we revealed a controllable ultrafast laser-induced focal volume light field and experimentally succeeded in highly efficient one-step composite structuring in multiple transparent solids.A pair of spatially coupled twin periodic structures reflecting light distribution in the focal volume are simultaneously created and independently tuned by engineering ultrafast laser-matter interaction.We demonstrated that the generated composite micro-nano structures are applicable to multi-dimensional information integration,nonlinear diffractive elements,and multi-functional optical modulation.This work presents the experimental verification of highly universal all-optical fabrication of composite micro-nano structures with independent controllability in multiple degrees of freedom,expands the current cognition of ultrafast laser-based material modification in transparent solids,and establishes a new scientific aspect of strong-field optics,namely,focal volume optics for composite structuring transparent solids.

文摘The parafoveal area,with its high concentration of photoreceptors andfine retinal capillaries,is crucial for central vision and often exhibits early signs of pathological changes.The current adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscope(AOSLO)provides an excellent tool to acquire accurate and detailed information about the parafoveal area with cellular resolution.However,limited by the scanning speed of two-dimensional scanning,thefield of view(FOV)in the AOSLO system was usually less than or equal to 2,and the stitching for the parafoveal area required dozens of images,which was time-consuming and laborious.Unfortunately,almost half of patients are unable to obtain stitched images because of their poorfixation.To solve this problem,we integrate AO technology with the line-scan imaging method to build an adaptive optics line scanning ophthalmoscope(AOLSO)system with a larger FOV.In the AOLSO,afocal spherical mirrors in pairs are nonplanar arranged and the distance and angle between optical elements are optimized to minimize the aberrations,two cylinder lenses are orthogonally placed before the imaging sensor to stretch the point spread function(PSF)for sufficiently digitizing light energy.Captured human retinal images show the whole parafoveal area with 55FOV,60 Hz frame rate and cellular resolutions.Take advantage of the 5FOV of the AOLSO,only 9 frames of the retina are captured with several minutes to stitch a montage image with an FOV of 99,in which photoreceptor counting is performed within approximately 5eccentricity.The AOLSO system not only provides cellular resolution but also has the capability to capture the parafoveal region in a single frame,which offers great potential for noninvasive studying of the parafoveal area.
文摘Our Portable Adaptive Optics(PAO)system designed for high-contrast imaging of exoplanets with current 2-4 m class telescopes achieves a correction speed of nearly 1000 Hz,utilizing a Shack-Hartmann Wave Front Sensor(WFS)in a 9×9 sub-aperture configuration.As we look towards adapting the PAO system for larger telescopes,an increase in the number of sub-apertures in the WFS and enhanced precision in wave front detection are imperative.Originally programmed in LabVIEW,our initial PAO software is based on a traditional centroid calculation module for nighttime wave front sensing and lacks adaptive processing of background noise.To address these limitations and to boost the PAO system's performance and accuracy in wave front detection,we propose a compressive neural network(Th-Net)combined with a specialized hybrid parallel programming approach for wave front detection.Our experimental results indicate that this hybrid parallel technique and Th-Net significantly enhance the PAO system's operational speed and wave front detection precision under uneven background noise.This work paves the way so that a duplicable and low-cost PAO system can be used for direct imaging of exoplanets with large telescopes.

文摘The 2.5 m wide-field and high-resolution solar telescope(WeHoST)is currently under developing for solar observations.WeHoST aims to achieve high-resolution observations over a super-wide field of view(FOV)of5′×5′,and a desired resolution of 0.3″.To meet the scientific requirements of WeHoST,the ground-layer adaptive optics(GLAO)with a specially designed wave front sensing system is as the primary consideration.We introduce the GLAO configuration,particularly the wave front sensing scheme.Utilizing analytic method,we simulate the performance of both classical AO and GLAO systems,optimize the wave front sensing system,and evaluate GLAO performance in terms of PSF uniformity and correction improvement across whole FOV.The results indicate that,the classical AO will achieve diffraction-limited resolution;the suggested GLAO configuration will uniformly improve the seeing across the full 5′×5′FOV,reducing the FWHM across the axis FOV to less than0.3″(λ≥705 nm,r0≥11 cm),which is more than two times improvement.The specially designed wave front sensor schedule offers new potential for WeHoST’s GLAO,particularly the multi-FOV GLAO and the flexibility to select the detected area.These capabilities will significantly enhance the scientific output of the telescope.

文摘Metasurfaces,composed of planar arrays of intricately designed meta-atom structures,possess remarkable capabilities in controlling electromagnetic waves in various ways.A critical aspect of metasurface design involves selecting suitable meta-atoms to achieve target functionalities such as phase retardation,amplitude modulation,and polarization conversion.Conventional design processes often involve extensive parameter sweeping,a laborious and computationally intensive task heavily reliant on designer expertise and judgement.Here,we present an efficient genetic algorithm assisted meta-atom optimization method for high-performance metasurface optics,which is compatible to both single-and multiobjective device design tasks.We first employ the method for a single-objective design task and implement a high-efficiency Pancharatnam-Berry phase based metalens with an average focusing efficiency exceeding 80%in the visible spectrum.We then employ the method for a dual-objective metasurface design task and construct an efficient spin-multiplexed structural beam generator.The device is capable of generating zeroth-order and first-order Bessel beams respectively under right-handed and left-handed circular polarized illumination,with associated generation efficiencies surpassing 88%.Finally,we implement a wavelength and spin co-multiplexed four-channel metahologram capable of projecting two spin-multiplexed holographic images under each operational wavelength,with efficiencies over 50%.Our work offers a streamlined and easy-to-implement approach to meta-atom design and optimization,empowering designers to create diverse high-performance and multifunctional metasurface optics.

文摘We propose a joint look-up-table(LUT)-based nonlinear predistortion and digital resolution enhancement scheme to achieve high-speed and low-cost optical interconnects using low-resolution digital-to-analog converters(DACs).The LUT-based predistortion is employed to mitigate the patterndependent effect(PDE)of a semiconductor optical amplifier(SOA),while the digital resolution enhancer(DRE)is utilized to shape the quantization noise,lowering the requirement for the resolution of DAC.We experimentally demonstrate O-band intensity modulation and direct detection(IM/DD)transmission of 124-GBd 4∕6-level pulse-amplitude modulation ePAMT-4∕6 and 112-GBd PAM-8 signals over a 2-km standard single-mode fiber(SSMF)with 3∕3.5∕4-bit DACs.In the case of 40-km SSMF transmission with an SOAbased preamplifier,124-GBd on-off-keying(OOK)/PAM-3/PAM-4 signals are successfully transmitted with 1.5∕2∕3-bit DACs.To the best of our knowledge,we have achieved the highest net data rates of 235.3-Gb∕s PAM-4,289.7-Gb∕s PAM-6,and 294.7 Gb∕s PAM-8 signals over 2-km SSMF,as well as 117.6-Gb∕s OOK,173.8-Gb∕s PAM-3,and−231.8 Gb∕s PAM-4 signals over 40-km SSMF,employing low-resolution DACs.The experimental results reveal that the joint LUT-based predistortion and DRE effectively mitigate the PDE and improve the signal-to-quantization noise ratio by shaping the noise.The proposed scheme can provide a powerful solution for low-cost IM/DD optical interconnects beyond 200 Gb∕s.

文摘In order to obtain a clear image of the retina of model eye, an adaptive optics system used to correct the wave-front error is introduced in this paper. The spatial light modulator that we use here is a liquid crystal on a silicon device instead of a conversional deformable mirror. A paper with carbon granule is used to simulate the retina of human eye. The pupil size of the model eye is adjustable （3-7mm）. A Shack-Hartman wave-front sensor is used to detect the wave-front aberration. With this construction, a value of peak-to-valley is achieved to be 0.086 A, where A is wavelength. The modulation transfer functions before and after corrections are compared. And the resolution of this system after correction （691p/m） is very close to the diffraction limit resolution. The carbon granule on the white paper which has a size of 4.7μm is seen clearly. The size of the retina cell is between 4 and 10 μm. So this system has an ability to image the human eye＇s retina.

文摘A new multi-band and high-speed endoscope diagnostic for the observation of visible light has been successfully developed on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak.The mirror with an aperture is designed at the head of the optical system.Based on two dichroic mirrors,the system is divided into three imaging mirror groups with different bands,i.e.B(380-500 nm),G(500-580 nm)and R(580-750 nm)bands,and its focal length is 16 mm with a relatively large aperture of D/f=1:4.The spatial resolution is less than 5 mm near the object distance of 1750 mm with the camera NAC ACS-1 M60.This optical system will be used to contrastively study both the spatial distribution and time evolution of different impurities in the same field of view.The experimental results confirm that it can be applied to the recognition of plasma boundary and related physical research.

文摘With the help of adaptive optics （AO） technology, cellular level imaging of living human retina can be achieved. Aiming to reduce distressing feelings and to avoid potential drug induced diseases, we attempted to image retina with dilated pupil and froze accommodation without drugs. An optimized liquid crystal adaptive optics camera was adopted for retinal imaging. A novel eye stared system was used for stimulating accommodation and fixating imaging area. Illumination sources and imaging camera kept linkage for focusing and imaging different layers. Four subjects with diverse degree of myopia were imaged. Based on the optical properties of the human eye, the eye stared system reduced the defocus to less than the typical ocular depth of focus. In this way, the illumination light can be projected on certain retina layer precisely. Since that the defocus had been compensated by the eye stared system, the adopted 512 × 512 liquid crystal spatial light modulator （LC-SLM） corrector provided the crucial spatial fidelity to fully compensate high-order aberrations. The Strehl ratio of a subject with -8 diopter myopia was improved to 0.78, which was nearly close to diffraction-limited imaging. By finely adjusting the axial displacement of illumination sources and imaging camera, cone photoreceptors, blood vessels and nerve fiber layer were clearly imaged successfully.
