SignificanceHyperspectral microscopy grants the ability to characterize unique properties of tissues based on their spectral fingerprint. The ability to label and measure multiple molecular probes simultaneously provides pathologists and oncologists with a powerful tool to enhance accurate diagnostic and prognostic decisions. As the pathological workload grows, having an objective tool that provides companion diagnostics is of immense importance. Therefore, fast whole-slide spectral imaging systems are of immense importance for automated cancer prognostics that meet current and future needs.AimWe aim to develop a fast and accurate hyperspectral microscopy system that can be easily integrated with existing microscopes and provide flexibility for optimizing measurement time versus spectral resolution.ApproachThe method employs compressive sensing (CS) and a spectrally encoded illumination device integrated into the illumination path of a standard microscope. The spectral encoding is obtained using a compact liquid crystal cell that is operated in a fast mode. It provides time-efficient measurements of the spectral information, is modular and versatile, and can also be used for other applications that require rapid acquisition of hyperspectral images.ResultsWe demonstrated the acquisition of breast cancer biopsies hyperspectral data of the whole camera area within ∼1 s. This means that a typical 1 × 1 cm2 biopsy can be measured in ∼10 min. The hyperspectral images with 250 spectral bands are reconstructed from 47 spectrally encoded images in the spectral range of 450 to 700 nm.ConclusionsCS hyperspectral microscopy was successfully demonstrated on a common lab microscope for measuring biopsies stained with the most common stains, such as hematoxylin and eosin. The high spectral resolution demonstrated here in a rather short time indicates the ability to use it further for coping with the highly demanding needs of pathological diagnostics, both for cancer diagnostics and prognostics.

Polarimetric and Multi-spectro-polarimetric imaging systems have a high potential for different applications such as biomedical, surface evaluation and roughness, remote sensing and imaging through turbid mediums. The liquid crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) are propitious candidates to combine a polarization control devices in polarimetric imaging systems due to their exceptional properties such as retardation tunability using low voltages and minimal power consumption, in addition to being cost-effective and compact. In this work, we present a new broadband ellipso-polarimetric camera[1] based on tunable achromatic waveplate (AWP)[2,3] consisting of LCVRs. This AWP can be tuned between three modes: quarter, half and full waveplate in wide spectral band. Also, the operation band can be tuned with the three modes. By capturing images at the three modes of the AWP, the system can extract various EP parameters: two Stokes parameters (S1 and S3), sin(2ψ) and cos(Δ). Particularly we show that cos(Δ) images are superior over many known polarimetric imaging quantities. The performance of the imaging system was demonstrated in different applications such as tissue for biomedical imaging, fingerprints and its residuals on the surface, old coins and remote sensing. In addition to the spatial and polarimetric information, integrating a narrowband LC tunable filter[4] into imaging systems provides the ability to extract the spectral information which helps to characterize the object better. In this work, we shall present the performance of Multispectral camera and Multi-spectro-polarimetric camera based on our developed LC devices for different applications. References: 1. M. J.

Parallel phase shift microscopy, vibrometry and focus tracking systems (Conference Presentation)

Parallel phase shift interferometric detection systems were developed using polarized interferometry, three detectors and multiple wavelengths. In phase shift interferometry (PSI) several phase shifted interference images are usually acquired in a sequence and are algebraically combined to extract the phase information. However, phase imaging is limited both by the 2π phase modulo limiting the ability to map structures with heights only up to half the source's wavelength i.e. several hundreds of nm, and also by error induced by the movements of the sample between the acquisitions of phase shifted interference images. Several approaches for dealing with these limitations have been developed that provided only a limited solution, e.g. using a beat wavelength interferogram by a two wavelength illumination but that is more sensitive to phase noise and thus less accurate and parallel PSI in which all phase shifted images are acquired simultaneously but that does not resolve the height limitation. We have developed a combined and improved technique for parallel PSI and three wavelength illumination enabling overcoming both limitations without elevating phase noise sensitivity. Several bench prototypes were built: some allowing video rate 3D imaging of moving samples such as biological live samples or high throughput scanning of metrology samples with nm scale resolution, and others allowing single point very high speed axial motion tracking and vibrometry with sub-nm scale resolution and max step height of few tens of µm.

Ultrahigh field enhancements from nanostructured metal thin films (Conference Presentation)

Enhancing the optical fields near metal nanostructures is of high importance for sensing, energy harvesting and improving the efficiency of optoelectronic devices. Surface enhanced spectroscopies such as Raman scattering (SERS), fluorescence (SEF) and infrared absorption (SEIRA) are enhanced significantly thus allowing lower detection limit and suprresolved imaging. Solar energy harvesting can be improved by designing structures that enhance the local optical field over wide spectral and angular ranges covering the whole solar spectrum. Detectors for the short wave and mid-IR ranges with higher efficiencies started to appear following an optimum designs incorporating plasmonic nanostructures. During the last few years we have been investigating several plasmonic nanostructured thin films for improved biosensors and lately for energy harvesting devices using variety of configurations: standard Kretchmann-Raether configuration, grating coupling, free space excitation of localized plasmons (LSPs) from nanosculptured thin films, and lately excitation of LSPs via extended surface plasmons (ESPs). The later configuration was shown both theoretically and experimentally (using SEF and SERS) to reveal extraordinary enhancement when the matching conditions between the ESP and the LSP are met. Several configurations for improved SPR biosensors and ultrahigh enhancement of local optical fields will be presented with the potential applications in sensing, solar energy harvesting and optoelectronic devices.
