Advances in single-pixel imaging toward biological applications

Abstract: In this work, we discuss two new methods for single-
pixel imaging. First, we leverage advances in laser
metrology and frequency synthesis to measure small
shifts in the center frequency of an optical pulse.
Pulses acquire such shifts when probing a transient
optical susceptibility, as in impulse stimulated Raman
scattering, which we use to demonstrate the technique.
We analyze the limits of this technique with regard to
fundamental noise, and predict detection sensitivity in
these limiting cases.

We then present work on imaging in two dimensions, both
x—y and x—z, using single element
detectors. We accomplish this by multiplexing spatial
frequency projections in time, allowing rapid two
dimensional imaging without an imaging detector. As we
eliminate the imaging detector, the sensitivity to
scattering is dramatically decreased, allowing the
method to be used deep in scattering tissue. Results
are shown for several geometries and experimental
configurations, demonstrating imaging capabilities
across a variety of sample types, including fluorescent
and biological samples.
