Twisted Damman Grating and Multi-object Surface Simultaneous Imaging System

Abstract

The invention discloses a distorted Dammann grating and a system for simultaneously imaging multiple object planes. The system for simultaneously imaging multiple object planes which consists of a distorted Dammann grating and a focusing lens can be used for forming a multi-focus array of multiple equal-strength focusing light spots which are deviated simultaneously along axial and transverse directions in a back field of the focusing lens. The focus quantity and focus interval of the multi-focus system can be adjusted by changing the parameters of the distorted Dammann grating. An equal-strength multi-focus system can be used for imaging a plurality of axial planes of an object space in the same image plane. According to the system, a real-time three-dimensional imaging technology which does not require axial scanning can be realized. The real-time three-dimensional imaging technology has an important practical value in three-dimensional real-time monitoring of biological living body cell microscopy and fluid particles.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a diffractive optical element, in particular to a twisted Damman grating and a multi-object plane simultaneous imaging system. Background technique [0002] Optical imaging and optical detection technology is a non-destructive imaging and detection technology, which has important applications in biological living cell imaging. Traditional optical imaging techniques mainly include confocal microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and optical coherence tomography. These traditional three-dimensional optical imaging technologies are generally based on point-to-point scanning or axial scanning, so they have application limitations in real-time imaging and monitoring, especially the three-dimensional real-time monitoring of living cells or particles in some fluids. [0003] In 1999, Blanchard et al [Appl.Opt.38, 6692 (1999)] proposed a simultaneous imaging technology for multiple axial object planes based on twisted gratings, and this ...
