An embedded imaging system in one embodiment includes an encoding module, an imaging module, and a cable. The encoding module is disposed proximate to a proximal end of the system, and is configured to encode frame synchronizing information into timing information comprising a reference clock. The imaging module is disposed proximate the distal end, and includes an image capture device configured to obtain imaging information and a decoding module. The decoding control module is configured to obtain the timing information, to decode the timing information to obtain recovered frame synchronizing information, and to control the image capture device using the recovered frame synchronizing information. The cable is interposed between the proximal end and the distal end, and is configured for passage therethrough of the timing information and the imaging information.

Systems and methods for embedded imaging clocking

A system, in one embodiment, includes an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system having a light source configured to emit light. The OCT imaging system further includes a beam splitter configured to receive the light from the light source, split the light into a first light portion directed along a sample arm comprising a sample and a second light portion directed along a reference arm comprising a reference mirror, receive a first reflected light portion from the sample arm and a second reflected light portion from the reference arm, combine the first and second reflected light portions to obtain an interference signal. Further, the OCT imaging system includes a controller having logic configured to perform an auto-ranging process to match the reference arm with the sample arm.

A method is described for recording a volume reflection holographic image that is viewable when illuminated by light at a wavelength W. The method includes

Reflection hologram storage method

A sensor is provided. The sensor includes a substrate, a waveguide having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the waveguide is disposed on the substrate such that at least a portion of the second surface of the waveguide is in physical contact with the substrate, a holder component disposed on at least a portion of the substrate, or the waveguide, or both, wherein the holder component comprises one or more cavities. The sensor further includes at least one microsphere at least partially disposed in a corresponding cavity of the holder component.
