We present a principal component analysis-based Laser Speckle Contrast Tomography (PCA-LSCT) method that enables simultaneous, independent mapping of vessel depth and blood-flow velocity without any modification to the optical layout of conventional laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI). Raw speckle frames are decomposed by a principal component analysis into a static component–the Static Speckle Contrast (SSC)–and a dynamic component–the Dynamic Activity Coefficient (DAC). The SSC is linearly correlated with the relative depth of vessels and is invariant to flow speed, whereas the DAC quantifies blood-flow velocity analogously to classical LSCI and is only weakly depth-dependent. Experiments with phantoms containing a model capillary and flow velocities ranging from 1 to 50 mm/s demonstrate high reproducibility of SSC profiles and a strong correlation between the resulting depth maps and ultrasound tomography (r2 = 0.90 for transmitted-light detection, r2 = 0.88 for backscattered-light detection). The suggested approach has been tested in vivo on a ring finger and has confirmed its high potential for providing non-invasive, contactless, depth-resolved 3D angiography.

The effect of an additional random reflector providing self-injection locking of an erbium fiber DFB laser on linewidth narrowing is studied. In a hybrid cavity comprising a short artificial fs-inscribed random reflector in combination with a natural Rayleigh reflector in the form of 100-m SMF fiber connected to the DFB laser the effect is greatly enhanced. The instantaneous linewidth narrowing by 2 orders is demonstrated which is in approximate agreement with theoretical estimation. For the long-term linewidth, the narrowing of approximately 3 orders of magnitude is observed. Thus, a compact and stable single-frequency laser with quite narrow linewidth (<5 Hz long term) for a wide range of application has been developed.
研究了铒光纤DFB激光器中提供自注入锁定的附加随机反射器对线宽变窄的影响。在混合腔中,由短的人造fs随机反射器与自然瑞利反射器(以100 m SMF光纤的形式连接到DFB激光器)组成的混合腔中,效果大大增强。结果表明,瞬时线宽缩小了2个数量级,与理论估计基本一致。对于长期线宽,观察到大约3个数量级的缩小。因此,一种紧凑和稳定的单频激光器,具有相当窄的线宽(<5赫兹长期),广泛的应用已经开发出来。

In the rapidly evolving field of nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate microscopic particles with precision at far-field distances remains a challenging endeavor. This paper introduces a dynamically tunable optical vortex based on elliptical gold nano-antenna arrays, enabling real-time control over the focal point position of optical vortex. By allowing wavelength-dependent precise adjustments of focal point positions over a range of several micrometers, our method significantly enhances particle manipulation capabilities, compared with traditional static plasmonic tweezers. We demonstrate the generation of far-field optical vortices, achieving effective trapping of nanoparticles with a dynamically tunable trapping distance up to around 14.7 μm from the metasurface, well beyond the near-field limit in conventional plasmonic tweezers. This advancement addresses limitations associated with conventional plasmonic manipulation, such as detrimental thermal effects and confinement to the near-field region. Besides representing a significant progression in nanoparticle manipulation techniques, this innovative platform opens new avenues for applications in optical micro-robotics and advanced material structuring, propelling the field forward and inviting further exploration of tunable optical forces.
