Optical multipass microscopy
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This thesis presents theory, design, and results from a novel multipass microscope. Such a microscope is characterized by the repeated interrogation of a sample with a "recycled" imaging field: a sample is imaged, then imaged with an image of itself, an image of an image of itself, and so forth. Through multiple interrogations, a linear enhancement in phase shift and absorption imparted by the sample can be achieved. This fundamentally increases the signal-to-noise of the obtainable images, or equivalently, decreases the damage imparted on the sample for a given signal-to-noise. While at first glance the technique may seem extreme in its simplicity, the approach has a number of useful properties, particularly with respect to how noise is — or is not — introduced into a measurement. This technique is entanglement-free in the conventional sense, and it is relatively robust with respect to loss in the system, making it compatible with biological samples. Additionally, there are no strong constraints placed on the probe source, making the multipass recipe in principle compatible with both bosons and fermions, either charged or neutral. I briefly discuss how these techniques could be applied to electron microscopy.
