Abstract

An imaging system includes an infrared illuminator, an ultrasonic emitter, a reference wavefront generator, and an image pixel array. The infrared illuminator emits a general illumination emission into a three-dimensional diffuse medium, where a portion of the general illumination emission encounters a voxel within the diffuse medium. The ultrasonic emitter focuses an ultrasonic signal to the voxel to wavelength-shift the portion of the general illumination emission to generate a shifted infrared imaging signal. The reference wavefront generator generates an infrared reference wavefront having a same wavelength as the shifted infrared imaging signal. The image pixel array captures an infrared image of an interference between the shifted infrared imaging signal and the infrared reference wavefront.
