Miniature Imaging Systems for Biomedical Applications
|
Compact imaging systems, including endoscopes and microscopes are of critical importance for imaging inside living, behaving animals and humans, with far-reaching impact on diagnosis and therapeutics of various diseases. However, miniaturizing these elements without sacrificing imaging performance is challenging. While fundamentally the performance of an imaging system degrades with reduced volume, technological limitations also preclude miniaturization of the optics. In the recent past, tremendous progress has happened in engineered optics such as meta-optics and freeform surfaces to dramatically reduce the dimension of imaging systems. Computational imaging, coupled with these engineered optics have been employed to not only mitigate image degradation due to miniaturization but also have exhibited novel functionality not achievable via optics alone. Moderated by Jiawen Li of the University of Adelaide, the webinar brought together experts in this field to provide an update on the state-of-the-art meta-optical systems and computational techniques to miniaturize imaging systems for biomedical applications.
