    • Unbalanced low coherence interference microscopy 

      Ahmad, Azeem; Habib, Anowarul; Dubey, Vishesh Kumar; Ahluwalia, Balpreet Singh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-03)
      Low coherence interference microscopy (LCIM) provides high spatial phase sensitivity, i.e., speckle free and coherent noise free quantitative phase images of the test specimens. Due to low temporal coherence (TC) length of the light source, LCIM requires precise adjustment of the optical path difference (OPD) between the object and the reference arm, which is only a few micrometers. Consequently, ...
