Gated frequency-resolved optical imaging with an optical parametric amplifier

Patent ·
OSTI ID:678605
A system for detecting objects in a turbid media utilizes an optical parametric amplifier as an amplifying gate for received light from the media. An optical gating pulse from a second parametric amplifier permits the system to respond to and amplify only ballistic photons from the object in the media. 13 figs.
