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).

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that may efficiently detect multi-return light signals. A light detection and ranging system, such as a LiDAR system, may fire a laser beam that may hit multiple objects with a different distance in one line, causing multi-return light signals to be received by the system. Multi-return detectors may be able to analyze the peak magnitude of a plurality of peaks in the return signals and determine a multitude of peaks, such as the first peak, the last peak and the maximum peak. One embodiment to detect the multi-return light signals may be a multi-return recursive matched filter detector. This detector comprises a matched filter, peak detector, centroid calculation and a zeroing out function. Other embodiments may be based on a maximum finder that algorithmically selects the highest magnitude peaks from samples of the return signal and buffers for regions of interests peaks.

Abstract: Provided is a method for blending of agricultural product utilizing hyperspectral imaging. At least one region along a sample of agricultural product is scanned using at least one light source of different wavelengths. Hyperspectral images are generated from the at least one region. A spectral fingerprint for the sample of agricultural product is formed from the hyperspectral images. A plurality of samples of agricultural product is blended based on the spectral fingerprints of the samples according to parameters determined by executing a blending algorithm.

Abstract: A measurement system for measuring blood characteristics includes a controller, an emitter, a sensor, and a reference sensor. The emitter emits light at a plurality of wavelengths from a first side of a blood flow channel to a second side of the blood flow channel. The sensor is provided on the second side of the blood flow channel. The reference sensor is provided on the first side of the blood flow channel. The controller compensates measurements from the sensor based upon measurements from the reference sensor. The reference sensor may be disposed in a position to increase noise immunity of the measurement system. The measurement system may be connected to or part of a dialysis system.

Abstract: Configurations for a diffraction grating design that mitigates thermal wavelength shifts and corresponding methods thereof are disclosed. The wavelength stability monitoring system may include a planar waveguide that receives input light directed toward a diffraction grating. The diffraction grating may reflect the light back through the planar waveguide and to one or more detectors. The planar waveguide may include multiple materials, such as a first material and a second athermal material that is adjacent to the first material. The athermal material may mitigate thermal wavelength shifts of the light. The design of the athermal material may include targeting a ratio of the input and output path lengths across sets of input and output angles of light that pass through the first material and the second athermal material. In some examples, the output waveguides may be positioned to receive leakage modes of light.

Abstract: A fluorescent single molecule emitter simultaneously transmits its identity, location, and cellular context through its emission patterns. A deep neural network (DNN) performs multiplexed single-molecule analysis to enable retrieving such information with high accuracy. The DNN can extract three-dimensional molecule location, orientation, and wavefront distortion with precision approaching the theoretical limit of information content of the image which will allow multiplexed measurements through the emission patterns of a single molecule.
