Optical Terabyte Storage - Fast optical data storage - based on confocal interferometry

The Optical Terabyte Storage enables simultaneous reading of data located at varying depths in an optical storage medium.
This method couples two-beam spectral interferometry with a broadband source of electromagnetic radiation, with chromatic-confocal technology, which allows diffraction-limited longitudinal splitting of foci in the memory volume.

 

 

Adaptive Phase Plates for Focus Invariant Optical Systems

Image processing in combination with phase plates with wave front coding enables high focus depth and high lateral dissolution simultaneously with high light intensity. New is: The normally used cubical phase plates are replaced by variable phase plates. Thus the optical qualities can be adjusted as desired.

 

 

Measuring moving phase objects using confocal transmission microscopy

Transmission confocal microscopy which makes it possible to measure moving phase objects.  The process is ideal for the determination of optical thickness and depth position of living cells or chromosomes. For transparent and opaque micro particles it is possible to determine quantitatively the spacial distribution and the lateral dimensions.
