A coherent radiation imaging system that produces digital images with a reduced amount of speckle. Radiation from a long coherence length source is used to form an image of a sample. The output coherent wave is temporally divided into a plurality of wavelets. The spatial phase of each wavelet is then modulated a known and different amount. Each phase modulated wavelet illuminates the sample and is perturbed by its interaction with the sample. A spatial phase map of each perturbed wavelet is then created and converted to a sample image with an image reconstruction program. The plurality of sample images thus formed is statistically averaged to form a final averaged image. The high frequency speckle that is not optically resolvable tends to average to zero with continual statistical averaging, leaving only the optically resolvable lower frequency phase information.

Digital imaging assembly & methods thereof

Digital imaging assembly and methods thereof

Apparatus and method for quantifying the oil and water fractions of a multi-phase flow stream and their respective flow rates. The hydrocarbon fractions are determined based on information gathered on their respective refractive indices when exposed to particular wavelengths of light.

Hydrocarbon fluid analysis module

Apparatus and method for quantifying the biological components of a biological system having at least two different refractive indices through detection of wave front distortions. The biological component fractions are determined based on information gathered on their respective indices when exposed to particular wavelengths of light.

Biological imager

A wavefront-sensing device for measuring ocular aberrations includes, among other things, a retinal illumination component and a wavefront imaging component (e.g., a microlens array for a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor). The retinal illumination component includes a laser source and a fixed collimating lens. In one embodiment, an improved device has a beam path between the retinal illumination component and the patient's eye containing no refracting, diffracting, or phase altering components for focusing the illumination beam on the retina. In another embodiment, the retinal illumination component provides a beam having a diameter on the retina that is smaller than the diffraction limit of the wavefront imaging component over a refractive focus range of the patient's eye of between about &minus;12D to &plus;6D.
