Simulations of measurements of fluorescence lifetimes using noise-modulated light

At the Pattern Recognition group at the Delft University of Technology, we are working on new ways to measure fluorescence lifetimes. There are two well-known ways to measure lifetimes; the phase method and the pulse method. In the phase method fluorescent material is stimulated by sinusoidally modulated light. The emitted fluorescent light will have the same modulation frequency, but there will be a phase shift between the excitation and the emission light. Measuring this phase shift will, after some simple calculation, give the lifetime of the fluorescent material. The second method is the pulse method. Short pulses of light are used to excite the material. The emitted light is detected, and from these measurements the decay curve of fluorescent light is determined. In our research we want to use a new method that may allow us to measure a mixture of lifetimes. We want to use excitation light that is modulated by a white noise signal. We are currently building an experimental setup for these measurements. We have been working on numerical and electrical simulations to investigate the properties of noise signals. Some results of these simulations are presented in this paper.

The Application of Digital Filtering to Phase Recovery when Surface Contouring using Fringe Projection Techniques

If structured light consisting of parallel stripes, or fringes, is projected onto a surface, then the surface acts as a phase modulator, with the amount of modulation at any point depending upon the height of the surface at that point. In recent years considerable effort has been devoted to the problem of fringe demodulation, with prominence given to techniques using fringe-phase stepping and Fourier analysis. It has long been known that phase demodulation is possible using a system of filters, and the technique has been widely used in the related area of frequency demodulation in radio. In this paper the development of phase demodulation using a system of digital filters is considered. For the accurate recovery of image phase it is necessary for the filters to introduce zero phase shift, or to have a phase shift proportional to frequency. The design of the digital filters is considered and their performance is assessed using the signal from a real modulated fringe pattern and a simulated signal. It is shown that the demodulation technique works well, even with a poor signal-to-noise ratio. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Generation of higher degree chaos by controlling harmonics of the modulating signal in EDFRL

Erbium doped fiber ring lasers (EDFRL) are being used to generate optical chaos for secure communication by modulating the cavity loss/pump power or exploiting nonlinearities. The security level in chaotic communication depends on degree of chaos quantified by the Lyapunov exponent and its variability which is determined by the number of tuneable system parameters which were limited to five main parameters, i.e. modulation index, modulation frequency, pump power, cavity gain and loss. In this study we have increased the number of tuneable parameters using square, triangular and sum of harmonics waveforms. We have analysed the effect on degree of chaos of phase and duty cycle of square modulating signal with gradual addition of harmonics. For the given cavity parameters, the Lyapunov exponents can be increased by more than fifteen times using square wave modulating signal and a duty cycle of 60%. The electrical parameters identified make generation of new chaotic sequences more flexible in a field deployed EDFRL chaotic system.     

Bidirectionally tunable all-optical switch based on multiple nano-structured resonators using backward quasi-phase-matching

Based on the second-order nonlinearity,we present a bidirectional tunable all-optical switch at C-band by introducing backward quasi-phase-matching technique in Mg-doped periodically poled lithium niobate (MgO:PPLN) waveguide with a nano-structure called multiple resonators.Two injecting forward lights and one backward propagating light interact with difference frequency generations.The transmission of forward signal and backward idler light can be modulated simultaneously with the variation of control light power based on the basic "phase shift" structure of a single resonator.In this scheme,all the results come from our simulation.The speed of this bidirectional optical switch can reach to femtosecond if a femtosecond laser is used as the control light.     

Simultaneous photoacoustic detection of multiple compounds based on orthogonal functions stimulation

The paper presents a concept of photoacoustic measurements based on use of two different light wavelengths which intensities are modulated with sine waves of the same frequency but with phase difference of 90 degrees. Resultant photoacoustic signal is of the same frequency, but its amplitude and phase depends on the absorption at both wavelengths. Taking into consideration that sine and cosine are orthogonal functions, and having measured amplitude of the photoacoustic signal and its phase referred to the phase of the stimulating light modulation, it is possible to retrieve both components corresponding to sine and cosine modulation. As a result, the method can be applied to simultaneous detection of two compounds. An important advantage of the method is that it can be comfortably used with high Q-factor cells.     

Generation, detection and characterization of optical minimum shift keying data format

This paper presents the detailed principle on the generation and detection of optical minimum shift keying (MSK) format for high-speed and high spectral efficiency WDM systems. 10.7 Gb/s optical MSK data is successfully generated by experiment using the proposed scheme. The results show that optical MSK signal exhibits very compact optical spectrum, which is promising for high spectral efficiency WDM applications. Simulation results on dispersion and nonlinear tolerance comparison confirm that MSK signal has better dispersion tolerance and nonlinear tolerance compared with 50% duty cycle return-to-zero differential phase shift keying (RZ-DPSK) and 50% duty cycle RZ on-off-keying (RZ-OOK) formats.

A Streak Camera System for Time Resolved Fluorimetry

Presently, there are several techniques for measurement of fluorescence lifetimes of organic molecules. These techniques, reviewed by Ware,¹ can be divided into two basic groups, those based upon pulsed sources and those based on modulated sources and phase shift measurement. In the pulsed methods, repetitive, short pulse width, intense excitation pulses excite the fluorophor and the fluorescence decay is measured; the source temporal response must be deconvoluced from the fluorescence decay in order to evaluate the fluorescence signal and lifetime. Typical sources of excitation include nanosecond flashlamps and more recently nanosecond N₂-laser (with or without a dye laser) and mode-locked lasers with picosecond pulse widths^2-6. The modulated source phase shift methods,¹ involve sinusoidal excitation of the fluorophor and measurement of the phase shift between the modulated excitation source and the modulated flourescence. Because modulation frequencies are limited to approximately 20 MHz, fluorescence lifetimes are limited to ～.1 ns and above. In addition, in the phase shift methods, only “one point” lifetimes are obtained, i.e., the entire fluorescence decay curve is not obtained.
