Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical scattering imaging. Background Art
[0002] Multimode optical fiber is often regarded as a scattering medium due to its modal scrambling. The development of wavefront shaping technology has achieved the control of wavefront, so that light can be focused at the output end of the optical fiber. However, when the optical fiber is affected by some environmental factors (such as fiber bending, temperature changes, etc.), interference and coupling between modes are likely to occur, and the focus at the output end of the optical fiber cannot maintain its original shape, making it difficult to achieve imaging when penetrating deeper scattering media. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new technology to effectively overcome the defect of multimode optical fiber being susceptible to interference. Summary of the invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to solve the problem mentioned in the background technology that multimode optical fiber is easily affected by the environment when penetrating deeper scattering imaging, and provide an imaging device that achieves strong anti-interference, less damage and deeper depth. Since the multimode optical fiber is small in size and can be bent at a very small angle, we embed the multimode optical fiber into a hard steel pipe, and one end is used to insert it into different depths of biological tissue for imaging. However, there are mode coupling and mode dispersion in the multimode optical fiber. When light is transmitted through the multimode optical fiber, the mode scrambling will cause the image to be distorted when propagating in the multimode optical fiber, that is, speckle is observed at the output end of the multimode optical fiber. This will bring some challenges to actual imaging. The wavefront shaping technology can effectively compensate for this effect. The required diffraction-limited focus can be generated at any position of the output end of the optical fiber through the transmission matrix or iterative wavefront shaping. By superimposing a tilted phase grating on the digital micromirror device, the focus is grating scanned on the object at the far end of the optical fiber, and the total intensity of the light returned through the optical fiber is recorded to achieve imaging based on grating scanning. The hard steel needle tube combined with multi-mode optical fiber can effectively overcome the problem of its susceptibility to environmental disturbances, and is expected to achieve strong anti-interference, less damage and deeper depth imaging in the field of medical endoscopy.

[0006] Step 1: Select the Hardmard (matrix) basis to modulate the target (digital micromirror device) spatial wavefront, with a resolution parameter of N×N and a phase shift step number of

[0009] Step 4: Convert the The phase-shifted coding patterns are sequentially loaded onto the digital micromirror device 3. At this time, the total number of micromirrors of the digital micromirror device 3 is set to 512×512, and the target spatial wavefront is modulated. The aperture diaphragm 5 filters out the first order of diffraction. The 4f system composed of the first lens 4 and the second lens 6 reduces the beam diameter to 3 / 4 of the original, so that the beam diameter can match the entrance pupil diameter of the objective lens.

[0015] Step 3: The computer 17 runs an iterative optimization algorithm, and the optimization index is the contrast of the recorded fluorescent speckle Where σ(I) is the standard deviation of the speckle pattern on the array photodetector, is the mean value of the speckle pattern on the array photodetector;
[0016] Step 4: After reaching the preset number of iterations, the iterative optimization algorithm stops iterating, and the number of iterations is set before the iterative process starts. At this time, the optimized incident light field non-invasively generates an initial fluorescent focus behind the rigid multimode optical fiber as a "guide star";
[0017] Step 5: After achieving non-invasive focusing, the iterative optimization algorithm stops iterating, and by superimposing a tilted phase grating on the digital micromirror device 3 and tilting the incident light field, efficient scanning with the focus within the object to be scanned 11 is achieved. The backscattered light obtained after scanning is collected by the rigid multimode optical fiber 10, and the corresponding fluorescent speckle is recorded by the second array photodetector 16. The fluorescent speckle is reconstructed using a phase recovery algorithm or a deconvolution algorithm to achieve scanning imaging at different depth ranges.

After reflection and transmission through the dichroic mirror (8), the light is conjugated to the entrance pupil of the first microscope objective lens (9). The first microscope objective lens (9) couples the light into the rigid multimode optical fiber (10). The rigid multimode optical fiber (10) is inserted into the object to be scanned (11) as a probe. The excited fluorescence is collected by the rigid multimode optical fiber (10) to form a fluorescence speckle. After passing through the first microscope objective lens (9), the light is reflected by the dichroic mirror 8 and enters the fourth lens (15). The light is focused to the second array photodetector (16). The second array photodetector (16) records the received light signal and transmits it to the computer (17). The fluorescence speckle signal in the light signal recorded by the second array photodetector (16) is used as feedback to iterate to form a focus point. The focus point is used to perform raster scanning imaging on the object to be scanned (11) to obtain a scanning image of the object to be scanned (11). The depth of the rigid multimode optical fiber (10) in the object to be scanned (11) is changed to obtain scanning images of the object to be scanned (11) in different depth ranges.

The imaging method for penetrating deeper scattering media according to claim 1, characterized in that: A hard multimode optical fiber imaging device based on a transmission matrix and a hard optical fiber probe is used to penetrate deeper scattering media to obtain scanning imaging of a body to be scanned (11), which specifically includes the following steps: Step 1: Select the Hardmard basis to modulate the target spatial wavefront, with a resolution parameter of N×N and a phase shift step number of N and is a natural number; Step 2: Based on the modulation in step 1, a Hardmard modulation basis with a resolution of N×N is calculated and generated, and a multi-step phase shift pattern with a resolution of N×N is generated; Step 3: Superimpose the multi-step phase shift pattern generated in step 2 onto the N×N Hardmard modulation basis generated in step 2 to produce the final A self-interfering coding mode; Step 4: Convert the The phase-shifted coding patterns are sequentially loaded onto the digital micromirror device (3). At this time, the total number of micromirrors of the digital micromirror device (3) is set to 512×512, and the target spatial wavefront is modulated. The aperture diaphragm (5) filters out the first order of diffraction. The 4f system composed of the first lens (4) and the second lens (6) reduces the beam diameter to 3 / 4 of the original diameter so that the beam diameter can match the entrance pupil diameter of the objective lens. The laser is coupled into the hard multimode optical fiber (10) through the first microscope objective lens (9). The speckle from the optical fiber is collected into the first array photodetector (14) in the calibration stage through the second microscope objective lens (12) and the third lens (13). A total of The corresponding speckle intensity I out Finally, the output light field E is solved by combining the four-step phase shift formula out According to E out =TE in , the transmission matrix T is solved, and the system calibration phase is now completed; Step 5: According to the transfer matrix T calculated in step 4, conjugate transpose thereof can be obtained to obtain a focus or even multiple focus points at any position on the output plane; Step 6, imaging stage, after the system is calibrated, a fluorescently dyed object to be scanned (11) is placed at the output end of the rigid multimode optical fiber, and the focal point generated in step 5 is used to superimpose a tilted phase grating on the digital micromirror device (3) to achieve focal illumination of different positions of the fluorescently dyed object to be scanned (11). The fluorescent light is excited by the laser focus, and the excited fluorescence is collected by the second array photodetector (16) at the near end of the optical fiber through the rigid multimode optical fiber (10), and the object is reconstructed using a deconvolution or phase recovery algorithm. Since the optical fiber is not easily affected by environmental disturbances, the optical fiber probe can use the focus to move within the object to be scanned (11) and perform grating scanning imaging at different depth ranges.

The imaging method for penetrating deeper scattering media according to claim 1, characterized in that: A hard multimode optical fiber imaging device based on non-invasive iterative feedback wavefront shaping and a hard optical fiber probe to achieve penetration into a deeper scattering medium obtains scanning imaging of a body to be scanned (11) and specifically comprises the following steps Step 1: The computer (17) controls the digital micromirror device (3) to modulate the wavefront phase of the incident light field, the aperture diaphragm (5) filters out the light outside the first order of diffraction, and the 4f system composed of the first lens (4) and the second lens (6) reduces the beam diameter to 3 / 4 of the original diameter so that the beam diameter can match the entrance pupil diameter of the first microscope objective lens (9), and then the first microscope objective lens (9) couples the laser into the hard multimode optical fiber (10); Step 2: The output light field of the rigid multimode optical fiber (10) excites the fluorescent target in the object to be scanned (11), and the excited fluorescence passes through the rigid multimode optical fiber (10) in the reverse direction to form a fluorescent speckle, which is recorded by a second array photoelectric detector (16) at the near end of the optical fiber; Step 3: The computer (17) runs an iterative optimization algorithm, and the optimization index is the contrast of the recorded fluorescent speckle Where σ(I) is the standard deviation of the speckle pattern on the array photodetector, is the mean value of the speckle pattern on the array photodetector; Step 4: After reaching the preset number of iterations, the iterative optimization algorithm stops iterating. The number of iterations is set before the iterative process starts. At this time, the optimized incident light field non-invasively generates an initial fluorescent focus behind the rigid multimode optical fiber as a "guide star"; Step 5: After achieving non-invasive focusing, the iterative optimization algorithm stops iterating, and by superimposing a tilted phase grating on the digital micromirror device (3), the incident light field is tilted to achieve efficient scanning with the focus in the object to be scanned (11). The backscattered light obtained after scanning is collected by the hard multimode optical fiber (10), and the corresponding fluorescent speckle is recorded by the second array photodetector (16). The fluorescent speckle is reconstructed by using a phase recovery algorithm or a deconvolution algorithm to achieve scanning imaging in different depth ranges.
