Enhancing laser speckle reduction by decreasing the pitch of a chiral nematic liquid crystal diffuser

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The artefact known as speckle can plague numerous imaging applications where the narrow linewidth of laser light is required, which includes laser projection and medical imaging.

Magnetomotive laser speckle imaging [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Optics, 2010
Laser speckle imaging (LSI) involves analysis of reflectance images collected during coherent optical excitation of an object to compute wide-field maps of tissue blood flow. An intrinsic limitation of LSI for resolving microvascular architecture is that its signal depends on relative motion of interrogated red blood cells.

Multifunctional laser speckle imaging

open access: yesBiomedical Optics Express, 2020
We have developed a multi-functional laser speckle imaging system, which can be operated in both the surface illumination laser speckle contrast imaging (SI-LSCI) mode and the line scan laser speckle contrast imaging (LS-LSCI) mode. The system has been applied to imaging the chicken embryos to visualize both the blood flow and morphological details of ...

Speckle free laser imaging [PDF]

open access: yesConference on Lasers and Electro-Optics 2012, 2012
Many imaging applications require increasingly bright illumination sources, motivating the replacement of conventional thermal light sources with light emitting diodes (LEDs), superluminescent diodes (SLDs) and lasers. Despite their brightness, lasers and SLDs are poorly suited for full-field imaging applications because their high spatial coherence ...

Use of diffuse reflections in tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy: implications of laser speckle for gas absorption measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We report the effects of self-mixing interference on gas detection using tunable diode laser spectroscopy. For very weak feedback, the laser diode output intensity gains a sinusoidal modulation analogous to that caused by low finesse etalons in the ...

Enhancement of microvessel in laser speckle image using gaussian kernel template [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2019
Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is an optical imaging method, which can monitor microvascular flow variation directly without addition of any ectogenous dye.

Line Scan Spatial Speckle Contrast Imaging and Its Application in Blood Flow Imaging

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Laser speckle imaging has been an indispensable tool for visualizing blood flow in biomedical applications. We proposed a novel design of the laser speckle imaging system, which combines confocal illumination and detection with various speckle analysis ...

Gas cells for tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy employing optical diffusers. Part 1: single and dual pass cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
New designs for gas cells are presented that incorporate transmissive or reflective optical diffusers. These components offer simple alignment and can disrupt the formation of optical etalons. We analyse the performance-limiting effects in these cells

Photothermal laser speckle imaging [PDF]

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2014
The analysis of speckle contrast in a time-integrated speckle pattern enables visualization of superficial blood flow in exposed vasculature, a method we call laser speckle imaging (LSI). With current methods, LSI does not enable visualization of subsurface or small vasculature, because of optical scattering by stationary structures.
