Multichannel acousto-optic correlator that uses a low-coherence source
Abstract:
We describe a time-integrating acousto-optic correlator that allows several channels to be multiplexed optically by means of a coherence-multiplexed superluminescent laser diode. Parallel channels are generated by birefringent electro-optic modulators set in cascade to induce optical path differences greater than the coherence length of the source. The system can be combined with most of the other previously reported multichannel techniques used in acousto-optic processors.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
