Brillouin microscopy has been widely used in the mechanical imaging of cells and tissues, signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio limits spectral integration time. Impulsive stimulated scattering (ISBS) is a new elastic technique. As variant (SBS), ISBS can overcome weak signal spontaneous scattering. A simple model estimate SBS gain. However, theoretical gain not compared with This paper gives estimation, experiments are designed to verify estimation reliability. The heterodyne coefficient be much higher than coefficient. relationship between spatial resolution then discussed. We anticipate that setup optimization improve gain, potentially enabling fast high biological cells.

Abstract Brillouin microscopy is an emerging optical elastography technique that can be used to assess mechanical properties of biological samples in a three-dimensional, all-optical and hence non-contact fashion. However, the low cross-section spontaneous scattering produces weak signals often necessitate prolonged exposure times or illumination dosages are potentially harmful for samples. Here we present new approach highly multiplexed therefore rapid spectral acquisition Brillouin-scattered light. Specifically, by exploiting custom-built Fourier-transform imaging spectrometer symmetric spectrum, experimentally demonstrate full-field 2D phantoms as well samples, at throughput up 40,000 spectra per second, with precision ~70 MHz effective image speed 0.1 Hz over ~300 × 300 µm 2 field view. This represents approximately three-orders-of-magnitude improvement compared standard confocal methods, while retaining high spatial resolution capability acquire three-dimensional images photosensitive biology medicine.

Abstract Structured light with multiple degrees of freedom has inspired many advanced applications, and its nonlinear control plays an important role in the interactions between matter. Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) based on light–sound coupling can be used to realize wavefront‐reversal reflection ordinary light; consequently, it is correct wavefront aberrations high‐power laser systems. However, high‐fidelity reversal structured orbital angular momentum high‐reflectivity single‐end SBS weak incident waves remain challenging. Here, authors propose a cross‐pump focused scheme that enables high fidelity, low threshold, reflectivity for arbitrary .
