    Abstract: A system and method for searching an incident light field for atypical regions (e.g., hot spots or cool spots or spectrally distinctive regions) within the incident light field using a light modulator and a spectral sensing device. Once the atypical regions are identified, the light modulator may be used to mask the incident light field so that the spectral sensing device can make spatially-concentrated measurements of the wavelength spectrum of the atypical regions (or alternatively, the exterior of the atypical regions). Furthermore, in a compressive imaging mode, a sequence of spatial patterns may be supplied to the light modulator, and a corresponding sequence of wavelength spectra may be collected from the spectral sensing device. The wavelength spectra comprise a compressed representation of the incident light field over space and wavelength. The wavelength spectra may be used to reconstruct a multispectral (or hyperspectral) data cube.

    Abstract: An intra-oral imaging apparatus for obtaining an image of a tooth has an image capture apparatus with an imaging sensor that is energizable to obtain image data and one or more optical elements for directing light from the tooth to the imaging sensor. An illumination apparatus has one or more light sources energizable to emit light and a spatial light modulator that is configurable to shape an illumination beam from the emitted light. One or more optical elements relay the shaped illumination beam toward the tooth surface. A control logic processor in signal communication with the imaging sensor obtains image data and in signal communication with the spatial light modulator shapes the illumination beam according to the obtained image data.

    Abstract: A single-shot spectral imager or imaging system which acquires multiplexed spatial and spectral data in a single snapshot with high optical collection efficiency and with the speed limited only by the readout time of the detector circuitry. The imager uses dispersive optics together with spatial light modulators to encode a mathematical transform onto the acquired spatial-spectral data. A multitude of encoded images is recorded simultaneously on a focal plane array and subsequently decoded to produce a spectral/spatial hypercube.

    Abstract: The optical assemblies disclosed herein advantageously utilize a beamsplitting apparatus in association with (i) the illumination path or (ii) the collection path of a color measurement instrument. Thus, the beamsplitting apparatus may be configured to spectrally divide one or more initial beams of light to emit a plurality of resultant beams of light, wherein the optical assembly is configured to illuminate a target using at least a first and second of the plurality of resultant beams. Alternatively, the beamsplitting apparatus may be configured to spectrally divide light received from a target to emit a plurality of resultant beams of light, wherein the optical assembly is configured to detect at least a first and second of the plurality of resultant beams of light. Advantageously, each of the first and second resultant beams is a product of a distinct set of one or more spectral constraints exacted by the beamsplitting apparatus.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method to measure optical absorption spectra with spatial resolution on the micron scale. An exemplary setup combines a continuous white light excitation beam in transmission geometry with a confocal microscope. Spatial resolution better than 1.4 μm in the lateral and 3.6 μm in the axial, directions was obtained. The detection and measurement of the absorption spectrum of hemoglobin in a single red blood cell under physiological conditions on the timescale of seconds was realized. The apparatus and method enables the investigation of spatial variations in the optical density of small samples on the micron scale and the study of biological assemblies at the single cell level, leading to applications in optical diagnostics, microfluidics, and other areas.
