许多成像应用需要越来越明亮的照明源,这促使人们用明亮的发光二极管、超辐射发光二极管和激光器取代传统的热光源。尽管激光器和超发光二极管亮度很高,但它们不太适合全场成像应用,因为它们的高空间相干性会导致相干伪像,例如散斑,从而破坏图像形成 1, 2。我们最近证明,可以设计随机激光器来提供低空间相干性 3。在这里,我们利用专门设计的随机激光器的低空间相干性来演示在强光学散射的情况下的无散斑全场成像。我们定量地表明,使用随机激光照明生成的图像比使用空间相干照明生成的图像表现出更高的质量。通过提供强激光照明而不存在相干伪影的缺点,随机激光器非常适合从全视场显微镜 4 到数字光投影仪系统 5 的一系列全视场成像应用。
Many imaging applications require increasingly bright illumination sources, motivating the replacement of conventional thermal light sources with bright light-emitting diodes, superluminescent diodes and lasers. Despite their brightness, lasers and superluminescent diodes are poorly suited for full-field imaging applications because their high spatial coherence leads to coherent artefacts such as speckle that corrupt image formation 1, 2. We recently demonstrated that random lasers can be engineered to provide low spatial coherence 3. Here, we exploit the low spatial coherence of specifically designed random lasers to demonstrate speckle-free full-field imaging in the setting of intense optical scattering. We quantitatively show that images generated with random laser illumination exhibit superior quality than images generated with spatially coherent illumination. By providing intense laser illumination without the drawback of coherent artefacts, random lasers are well suited for a host of full-field imaging applications from full-field microscopy 4 to digital light projector systems 5.
