The invention discloses an ultra-high-speed orthogonal
polarization imaging device and method, and the imaging method comprises the following steps: carrying out filtering, dispersion,
gain and orthogonal polarization
multiplexing for
femtosecond laser, dividing the
femtosecond laser into two parts, i.e., orthogonal
signal light and reference light, and enabling the orthogonal polarization direction to be along the fast and slow axes of a
polarization maintaining optical fiber; enabling the
signal light to be dispersed through the
diffraction space, enter a spatial light imaging
system, carrysample information, and return along a light path; accessing the
signal light loaded with sample information and reference light to an optical coherent
receiver together to complete optical coherent detection, converting the
light signal into an
electric signal, subjecting the
electric signal to high-speed sampling and conversion through high-speed analog-to-
digital conversion so as to form a
digital signal to be output, and finally, demodulating and restoring an image by a computer. Compared with a traditional CCD imaging sensor, the polarization information of a sample can be obtained at anultrahigh hundred MHz
frame rate under the condition that the micron-scale imaging resolution is guaranteed, and full-digital acquisition based on the optical coherent
receiver is beneficial to later-period real-time analysis and image optimization
processing.
