Publication number: 20220020116Abstract: An advance in ultra-high-resolution optical imaging has been achieved by the introduction of iterative high-resolution image-building algorithms to incoherent holography. A recorded FINCH hologram is used as the basis of a method in which a high resolution image is built using detailed knowledge of the point spread functions of the FINCH hologram or reconstructed image, and then iteratively improved by successive algorithm generations of comparison to the recorded FINCH hologram and alteration of the high resolution image.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Applicant: Celloptic, Inc.Inventors: Nisan SIEGEL, Gary Brooker

Patent number: 10423123Abstract: The inventors have discovered a method to improve image quality in holography and, for the first time, utilize lenses made from birefringent materials to advantageously split an incoming beam of either coherent or incoherent light into two coincident beams with different focal lengths that interfere with one another and thus create holograms free of electro-optical or pixelated devices. This discovery has many advantages over current methods to create holograms in which many components, including multiple lenses, other electro-optical devices, and/or beam paths are necessary to create holograms. The current invention provides a purely optical holographic process which has better performance and holographic simplicity, in addition to being able to miniaturize holographic processes more than is currently possible in state of the art holography systems.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: CellOptic, Inc.Inventors: Gary Brooker, Nisan Siegel

Patent number: 9891585Abstract: A new optical arrangement that creates high efficiency, high quality Fresnel Incoherent Correlation Holography (FINCH) holograms using transmission liquid crystal GRIN (TLCGRIN) diffractive lenses has been invented. This is in contrast to the universal practice in the field of using a reflective spatial light modulator (SLM) to separate sample and reference beams. Polarization sensitive TLCGRIN lenses enable a straight optical path, have 95% transmission efficiency, are analog devices without pixels and are free of many limitations of reflective SLM devices. An additional advantage is that they create an incoherent holographic system that is achromatic over a wide bandwidth. Two spherical beams created by the combination of a glass and a polarization sensitive TLCGRIN lenses interfere and a hologram is recorded by a digital camera. FINCH configurations which increase signal to noise ratios and imaging speed are also described.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: CellOptic, Inc.Inventor: Gary Brooker
