摘要： Digital focal plane arrays (DFPAs) with multiple counters per unit cell can be used to convert analog signals to digital data and to filter the digital data. Exemplary DFPAs include two-dimensional arrays of unit cells, where each unit cell is coupled to a corresponding photodetector in a photodetector array. Each unit cell converts photocurrent from its photodetector to a digital pulse train that is coupled to multiple counters in the unit cell. Each counter in each unit cell can be independently controlled to filter the pulse train by counting up or down and/or by transferring data as desired. For example, a unit cell may perform in-phase/quadrature filtering of homodyne- or heterodyne-detected photocurrent with two counters: a first counter toggled between increment and decrement modes with an in-phase signal and a second counter toggled between increment and decrement modes with a quadrature signal.

摘要： A system for optically imaging a specimen is provided, which system amplitude modulates an optical signal with a longer wavelength signal, and in particular a signal having a wavelength which is much longer than any dispersive phase shift in the sample. The modulated optical signal is passed through the specimen. Scattered radiation in the optical output from the sample is filtered out and the resulting optical signal is detected and processed to obtain amplitude/absorption and phase/dispersion information, which information may be used in imaging. Optical signals at different frequencies may be passed through the same sample of the specimen to obtain additional information.
