Abstract: A method for irradiating a scattering medium, including irradiating a scattering medium with radiation from a laser, to form scattered radiation having a scattered field; measuring a difference in the scattered field caused by motion of a moving target in or behind the scattering medium; forming a phase conjugate of the difference to form a phase conjugate field; and irradiating the scattering medium with the phase conjugate field formed using one or more radiation modulating elements. Thus we present that movement of objects can be used as a novel guide star in Digital Optical Phase Conjugation (DOPC). By time reversal of difference of scattering fields of a moving target, light can be focused through scattering media.

Abstract: A method of performing fluorescence correlation spectroscopy with a fluorescence microscope includes selecting an illumination area of a sample, generating an illumination light beam and splitting the illumination light beam into at least three partial beams. The partial light beams are focused onto the selected illumination area using a microscope optical system of the fluorescence microscope so as to excite fluorescent dye particles in the illumination area to fluoresce. Fluorescent light emitted by the dye particles is detected and at least one diffusion coefficient representative of a diffusibility of the fluorescent dye particles is determined based on the detected fluorescent light.

Abstract: A programmable spatial filter for use as a Fourier plane filter in dark field wafer inspection systems, based on the use of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) devices. In comparison with prior art systems, especially those using LCD's, the use of MEMS devices provide a number of potential advantages, including good transmission in the UV, a high fill factor, polarization independence and a high extinction ratio since the shutter is opaque when closed. The MEMS devices can be flap devices, artificial eyelid, or double shutter devices. Additionally, a novel spatial light modulator (SLM) assembly having a double layer of SLM arrays is described, in which the fill factor is increased in comparison to a single layer SLM using the same devices, by positioning the dead areas of the elements of both arrays collinearly in the modulated beam. This SLM assembly can be implemented using pixelated LCD arrays or MEMS arrays.
