MEMS Deformable Mirrors for Space-Based High-Contrast Imaging [PDF]
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Deformable Mirrors (DMs) enable precise wavefront control for optical systems. This technology can be used to meet the extreme wavefront control requirements for high contrast imaging of exoplanets with coronagraph

Planar photonic chips with tailored angular transmission for high-contrast-imaging devices [PDF]
The authors design a planar photonic chip with several multilayers of photonic band gaps and a region of dielectric nanoparticles for tailored angular transmission. They use it as sample substrate for high-contrast darkfield and total internal reflection

Evaluation of spine disorders using high contrast imaging of the cartilaginous endplate [PDF]
Introduction: Many spine disorders are caused by disc degeneration or endplate defects. Because nutrients entering the avascular disc are channeled through the cartilaginous endplate (CEP), structural and compositional changes in the CEP may block this ...

NIR-II bioluminescence for in vivo high contrast imaging and in situ ATP-mediated metastases tracing [PDF]
Conventional bioluminescence imaging usually operates in the visible region and its performance is limited by strong tissue absorption and scattering. Here, the authors present bioluminescence probes (BPs) with emission in the second near infrared (NIR ...

Observations of circumstellar disks in scattered light with SPHERE at the VLT
The technological developments initiated in the early 21$^{\rm st}$ century have led to the implementation of “planet finders” instruments on 8-m class telescopes which are in operation since 2014-2015. Such facilities are at the inception of significant

Angular Spectra Tunable Random Lasing for High Contrast Imaging
Random lasers with low spatial coherence have important potential applications in speckle‐free imaging and displaying. Here, an angular spectra (AS) tunable random laser is proposed through directly coupling a microcavity with a commercial optical fiber.

Multi-Mode Compact Microscopy for High-Contrast and High-Resolution Imaging
We report a multi-mode compact microscope (MCM) for high-contrast and high-resolution imaging. The MCM consists of two LED illuminations, a magnification lens, a lift stage, and a housing with image processing and LED control boards. The MCM allows multi-

Speckle Space–Time Covariance in High-contrast Imaging
We introduce a new framework for point-spread function subtraction based on the spatiotemporal variation of speckle noise in high-contrast imaging data where the sampling timescale is faster than the speckle evolution timescale.

Fast-cadence High-contrast Imaging with Information Field Theory
Although many exoplanets have been indirectly detected in recent years, direct imaging of them with ground-based telescopes remains challenging. In the presence of atmospheric fluctuations, it is ambitious to resolve the high brightness contrasts at the ...
