Single-Pixel, Picometer Scale Spectral Characterization of Light Through Scattering Media

2022-09-07
Nanoscale (sub-wavelength) imaging has various applications in nanostructures such as cells and biomolecules. Controlling the wavefront of light traveling through a scattering medium having sub-wavelength spatial modes may result in sub-wavelength focusing, which may be used in nanoscale imaging. Single-pixel imaging is another preferred technique in nanophotonics applications seeking low-cost production and compactness. In this study, we propose a single-pixel multimode fiber spectrometer with picometer scale resolution by controlling the light via wavefront modulation. We use a spatial light modulator (SLM) to focus individual wavelengths at the distal end of the fiber. The calibration of the spectrometer is done by exploiting the sensitive response of multimode fiber to variations in the wavelength. The calibrated data is later used to successfully reconstruct unknown arbitrary input spectra. The technique developed in this study can be used in nanoscale spectral characterization, investigation of scattering nanostructures, and sub-wavelength imaging.

Microfibrous scaffolds from poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) blended with xeno-free collagen/hyaluronic acid for improvement of vascularization in tissue engineering applications
KENAR, HALİME; Ozdogan, Candan Yilmaz; Dumlu, Cansu; DOĞER, EMEK; Kose, Gamze Torun; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2019-04-01)
Success of 3D tissue substitutes in clinical applications depends on the presence of vascular networks in their structure. Accordingly, research in tissue engineering is focused on the stimulation of angiogenesis or generation of a vascular network in the scaffolds prior to implantation. A novel, xeno-free, collagen/hyaluronic acid-based poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) (PLC/COL/HA) (20/9.5/0.5 w/w/w) microfibrous scaffold was produced by electrospinning. Collagen types I and III, and hyaluronic acid...
Polyelectrolyte multilayer films as substrates for photoreceptor cells
Tezcaner, Ayşen; Boulmedais, F; SAHEL, JOSE; SCHAAF, PIERRE; VOEGEL, JEAN CLAUDE; LAVALLE, PHILIPPE (2006-01-01)
Reconstruction of extracellular matrix substrates for delivery of functional photoreceptors is crucial in pathologies such as retinal degeneration and age-related macular degeneration. In this study, we assembled polyelectrolyte films using the layer-by-layer deposition method. The buildup of three different films composed of poly(L-lysine)/ chondroitin sulfate (PLL/CSA), poly(L-lysine)/poly(styrenesulfonate) (PLL/PSS), or poly(L-lysine)/hyaluronic acid (PLL/HA) was followed by means of quartz crystal micro...
Composite polysaccharides and protein hydro-gels for controlled release applications: Formulation, characterization and release studies
Özel, Barış; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Aydın, Özlem; Department of Food Engineering (2023-1-26)
Hydrogels are highly hydrophilic polymer gels with macromolecular three-dimensional networks. They can swell by absorbing and retaining large amount of water without dissolving and losing their integrity. Polysaccharides and proteins are commonly used for designing hydrogels to be used in food applications. Encapsulating bioactive agents is one of the common uses of these gels. Composite gels in which one or two polymers are blended to modulate the physicochemical properties of the gels have gained interest...
Live-cell imaging of Pol II promoter activity to monitor gene expression with RNA IMAGEtag reporters
SHIN, Ilchung; RAY, Judhajeet; Gupta, Vinayak; İlgü, Müslüm; Beasley, Jonathan; BENDICKSON, Lee; MEHANOVIC, Samir; Kraus, George A.; Nilsen-Hamilton, Marit (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-01-01)
We describe a ribonucleic acid (RNA) reporter system for live-cell imaging of gene expression to detect changes in polymerase II activity on individual promoters in individual cells. The reporters use strings of RNA aptamers that constitute IMAGEtags (Intracellular MultiAptamer GEnetic tags) that can be expressed from a promoter of choice. For imaging, the cells are incubated with their ligands that are separately conjugated with one of the FRET pair, Cy3 and Cy5. The IMAGEtags were expressed in yeast from ...
Quality Enhancement of Computed Tomography Images of Porous Media Using Convolutional Neural Networks
Yıldırım, Ertuğrul Umut; Uğur, Ömür; Glatz, Guenther; Department of Scientific Computing (2022-2-11)
Computed tomography has been widely used in clinical and industrial applications as a non-destructive visualization technology. The quality of computed tomography scans has a strong effect on the accuracy of the estimated physical properties of the investigated sample. X-ray exposure time is a crucial factor for scan quality. Ideally, long exposure time scans, yielding large signal-to-noise ratios, are available if physical properties are to be delineated. However, especially in micro-computed tomography ap...
