我们构建了一个使用空间光调制器（德州仪器数字微镜器件）的可编程多孔径共焦成像系统。即使相邻 ON 像素之间的距离是像素孔径大小的四倍，该系统也已通过实验证明了出色的轴向分辨率和共焦成像质量。相比之下，典型的基于针孔的系统（例如，Nipkow 盘）采用 10 倍的相邻孔径距离与尺寸比。我们在光利用效率和共焦图像速率方面比此类系统提高了 6.25 倍，而无需添加更多组件和额外的处理时间。 (C) 1997 年美国光学学会。
We have built a programmable multiple-aperture confocal imaging system that uses a spatial light modulator (a Texas Instruments digital micromirror device). Excellent axial resolution and confocal imaging quality have been experimentally demonstrated with this system, even when the distance between adjacent ON pixels is four times the size of the pixel aperture. By contrast, typical pinhole-based systems (e.g., a Nipkow disk) employ an adjacent aperture distance-to-size ratio of 10x. We have achieved improvement over such systems by 6.25x in both light-utilization efficiency and confocal image rate without adding more components and extra processing time.
