Abstract: Mid-infrared photothermal heterodyne imaging (MIR-PHI) techniques described herein overcome the diffraction limit of traditional MIR imaging and uses visible photodiodes as detectors. MIR-PHI experiments are shown that achieve high sensitivity, sub-diffraction limit spatial resolution, and high acquisition speed. Sensitive, affordable, and widely applicable, photothermal imaging techniques described herein can serve as a useful imaging tool for biological systems and other submicron-scale applications.

Abstract: Optical imaging or spectroscopy described can use laminar optical tomography (LOT), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), or the like. An incident beam is scanned across a target. An orthogonal or oblique optical response can be obtained, such as concurrently at different distances from the incident beam. The optical response from multiple incident wavelengths can be concurrently obtained by dispersing the response wavelengths in a direction orthogonal to the response distances from the incident beam. Temporal correlation can be measured, from which flow and other parameters can be computed. An optical conduit can enable endoscopic or laparoscopic imaging or spectroscopy of internal target locations. An articulating arm can communicate the light for performing the LOT, DCS, or the like. The imaging can find use for skin cancer diagnosis, such as distinguishing lentigo maligna (LM) from lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM).

The processor is configured to receive an output from each optical sensor in a set of optical sensors and determine a corrected filter response for the set of optical sensors using crosstalk from light transmitted through optical filters adjacent to the set of optical sensors.

Abstract: Introduced here are computer programs and associated computer-implemented techniques for determining reflectance of an image on a per-pixel basis. More specifically, a characterization module can initially acquire a first data set generated by a multi-channel light source and a second data set generated by a multi-channel image sensor. The first data set may specify the illuminance of each channel of the multi-channel light source (which may be able to produce visible light and/or non-visible light), while the second data set may specify the response of each sensor channel of the multi-channel image sensor (which is configured to capture an image in conjunction with the light). Thus, the characterization module may determine reflectance based on illuminance and sensor response. The characterization module may also be configured to determine illuminance based on reflectance and sensor response, or determine sensor response based on illuminance and reflectance.

Abstract: Circadian health recommendations and/or automation instructions and spectral data on which they are based can be provided to a user through a mobile device that lacks a spectral sensor. A user mobile device lacking a spectral data uploads place and time data to a cloud-based circadian health system. A light-exposure model of the circadian health system estimates spectral data values based on the place and time data. The light-exposure model’s estimation can be based on data received by the circadian health system based on user devices equipped with spectral sensors and from other sources. A relatively small number of mobile user devices (with spectral sensors) can thus provide for spectral value estimates for a relatively large population of mobile user devices that lack spectral sensors—greatly expanding the range and number of people that benefit from improved circadian health.
