About this Research Topic
Recently, broadband light sources, such as ultrafast lasers, wavelength-swept lasers, super-luminescent LEDs, and super-continuum sources, have enabled versatile optical innovations, which opens up new possibilities to achieve fast-speed, large-volume, high-resolution, and high-dimensional optical measurements with unique capabilities.
Herein, the main scope of this Research Topic is to bring together interesting novel optical measurement and imaging techniques, enabled by newly-developed broadband light sources; submitted manuscripts not based on broadband sources will be transferred to a more suitable Research Topic. Authors are invited to submit their recent findings in optical measurement, laser ranging, computational optical imaging, and biomedical imaging. In particular, this featured issue welcomes articles on (but not limited to) developments and applications of broadband light sources relating to the following topics:
• Optical measurement, holography, interferometry, microscopy;
• Laser ranging and LIDAR applications;
• Wavefront shaping and space/frequency-multiplexed imaging;
• Nonlinear optical imaging;
• Super-resolution imaging;
• Optical coherence tomography (OCT);
• Ultrafast optical imaging;
• Multiple wavelength, hyperspectral, wavelength-multiplexed/wavelength-swept imaging;
• High-dimensional/computational optical imaging.
We invite submissions on relevant hardware setup/mechanism, software/computational algorithm, modelling/theory, and practical application. Types of manuscript include Review, Mini Review, Methods, Perspective, Brief Research Report, and Original Research.
Keywords: Ultrafast Laser Technology, Novel Imaging, Optical Measurement, Biomedical Optics
