Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy01:16

Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

13.4K
Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Silicon-on-insulator waveguides.
  • Implementing two counter-propagating trans-electrical (TE) polarized beams.
  • Employing a single grating coupler (GC) for beam combination.
  • Integrating a wavelength division multiplexed laser array.

Main Results:

  • Achieved doubled beam steering angle by seamlessly combining two output beams from a single GC.
  • Demonstrated a novel solid-state Lidar design for TE polarized beams.
  • Proposed a low-cost Lidar solution through wavelength division multiplexed laser array integration.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method effectively doubles the beam steering angle in solid-state Lidar.
  • This approach offers a pathway to more compact and cost-effective Lidar systems.
  • Integration of counter-propagating beams and advanced waveguide design are key to enhanced Lidar performance.
