Embodiment 1

[0063] In this embodiment, a discriminative rate board exposed to the air (U.S. military standard 1951USAF resolution board, conforming to the U.S. MIL-STD-150A standard) is used as the sample to be tested. The pattern on the discriminator plate includes several groups of three short lines, the size of the short lines is from large to small. This test pattern is widely used to test the resolution of optical imaging systems (such as microscopes and cameras). figure 2 Images of this resolution board were taken directly with a digital camera. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0064] (1) The single pulse energy emitted from the femtosecond laser is 3mJ, the pulse width is 50fs, the repetition frequency is 1kHz, and the femtosecond pulse laser is polarized in the horizontal direction. After being limited by an aperture of about 4mm, the beam splitting ratio is 2 The :8 beam splitter is divided into two beams, one of which has a stronger light intensity is the fe...

Embodiment 2

[0071] In this embodiment, the discriminative rate plate hidden in polystyrene microsphere suspension is used as the sample to be tested, simulating the ability of the present invention to image hidden objects in a large number of scattering environments. The discriminative rate plate was as described in Example 1. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0072] (1) A small amount of polystyrene microspheres with a particle size of 15 microns was mixed into deionized water to prepare polystyrene microsphere suspension. This suspension is a commonly used standard scattering medium. By adjusting the concentration of polystyrene microspheres, a strong scatterer with an optical density of 10 was obtained. The identification rate plate is placed in front of the scattering medium to constitute the sample to be tested in this example.

[0073] (2) The single pulse energy emitted from the femtosecond laser is 3mJ, the pulse width is 50fs, the repetition frequency is 1kHz...

Abstract

A femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate and an imaging device and method based on the optical Kerr gate. The detection optical path of the imaging device is sequentially provided with the target to be measured, a femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate composed of a polarizer, an optical Kerr medium and a polarizer, and a CCD; and the polarization direction of the polarizer and the detection pulse The vertical direction of polarization has a heterodyne angle of 3-5°; the switching optical path is provided with an optical delay line and a half-wave plate in sequence, and the switching pulse and the detection pulse overlap in the optical Kerr medium. The imaging method is as follows: the femtosecond pulse is divided into two channels, the detection pulse is incident on the sample to be tested, and enters the femtosecond heterodyne optical Kerr gate after reflection and transmission; The component of the detection pulse that carries the sample topography information is incident on the CCD by the gated detection pulse to obtain a topography image of the sample to be tested with ultra-high time resolution. The invention has the advantages of simple optical path, very short gate time, imaging spatial resolution close to system diffraction limit and the like.
