A laser scanning imaging system including: a first beam scanner; a first set of relay lenses; a second beam scanner; a second set of relay lenses; an objective lens; wherein the first beam scanner is configured to receive an input laser beam and scan the laser beam about one or more axes; the first set of relay lenses is configured to expand the laser beam scanned by the first beam scanner and conjugate a scanning plane of the first beam scanner with a scanning plane of the second beam scanner; the second beam scanner is configured to scan the laser beam relayed by the first set of relay lenses about one or more axes; the second set of relay lenses is configured to expand the laser beam scanned by the second beam scanner and project the scanning plane of the second beam scanner to a pupil of the objective lens.

Compact laser scanning microscope system

An optical image generation system including: a spatial light modulator (SLM) configured to receive an input collimated laser beam and modulate the wavefront of the laser beam; one or more optical elements configured to project the modulated laser beam onto a focal plane; a first mirror and a second mirror situated at the focal plane, an edge of the first mirror being adjacent to an edge of the second mirror, the first mirror reflects a first portion of the modulated laser beam in a first direction, the second mirror reflects a second portion of the modulated laser beam in a second direction; and an objective lens projects the first and second portions into a combined image; wherein the zeroth order diffraction is block or suppressed at the center of the focal plane.
