Abstract:
Time and spatial-gated Fourier spectra and imaging were measured and analyzed. A picosecond Kerr-Fourier gate was used to image objects by selecting the spatial frequencies of objects illuminated by a laser pulse passing through a thick turbid medium. The earlier arriving ballistic/snake light and most of the later scattered light were spatially filtered and temporally separated to form an image. The image contrast and the signal-to-noise ratio of hidden objects in turbid media were greatly improved with the addition of Fourier spatial filtering.

IR Spectrometers
There are two main infrared (IR) spectrophotometers: dispersive IR spectrometers and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers. In a dispersive IR spectrometer, a beam of infrared radiation produced by a hot wire is divided into two parallel equal-intensity beams using mirrors. One beam passes through the sample, while another is a reference beam. The beams then move through the monochromator, which separates the radiations into a continuous spectrum of different frequencies. The...
Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy
Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been developed.
