Laser-scanning optical-frequency-comb microscopy for multimodal imaging
Abstract We introduce laser-scanning optical-frequency-comb microscopy, a technique that enables comprehensive multimodal spectroscopic imaging by analyzing interferograms via a dual-comb spectroscopic approach. This method captures diverse optical information, including amplitude, phase, polarization, frequency, and time of flight, from a single measurement. We demonstrate the versatility and efficiency of this technique through applications in surface profilometry, time-of-flight measurements, and polarization analysis. This approach enhances optical microscopy capabilities, offering a powerful tool for detailed material characterization in both science fields and industrial applications.
