Abstract

Low coherence photorefractive holography is a wide-field technique for 3-D imaging that offers a unique mechanism to discriminate against a background of diffuse light. This provides a wide-field method to image through scattering materials that we have demonstrated may be implemented at frame rates as high as ~ 470/second. We present our recently developed low coherence photorefractive microscope and demonstrate how it may be realized using a spatially coherent broadband c.w. diode-pumped solid-state laser. This can provide real-time sectioned images of moving 3-D objects using only a simple uncooled 8-bit CCD camera. We also demonstrate a photorefractive 3-D imaging technique that exploits structured illumination and photorefractive holography to achieve a real-time wide-field sectioning microscope that may be applied to fluorescence, as well as reflected light. We also discuss issues for improving the sensitivity and spectral coverage of photorefractive holography using semi-insulating MQW devices.
