Technology Overview
The technology, known as Interference Pattern Structured Illumination (IPSI), enhances optical imaging capabilities by employing laser interference patterns to collect spatial information about objects. It achieves unprecedented high resolution by utilizing patterns as small as half the wavelength of the light used, thereby effectively doubling the resolution limit of traditional imaging methods.
Key Advantages
- Significantly improved resolution beyond conventional imaging limits
- Rapid multispectral and 3D imaging capabilities
- Capability to image using various wave types, including sound waves
- Elimination of ghosting effects and reduction of noise
Problems Addressed
- Limited resolution of conventional imaging methods
- Complexity and cost of high-precision optical components
- Slow imaging processes with high noise levels
- Difficulty in achieving multispectral and 3D imaging
Market Applications
- Medical diagnostics
- Manufacturing inspection
- Remote sensing in hostile environments
