Patent ID: 8450674

Claim:
An imaging system for imaging a sample, comprising: one or more sources of one or more signals, wherein the signals propagate to one or more regions of the sample and modulate input light into modulated light such that the input light is modulated into the modulated light as the input light passes through the one or more regions of the sample concurrently with the signals; a Digital Optical Phase Conjugation (DOPC) device including: a sensor for detecting the modulated light inputted onto the sensor, and at least one spatial light modulator (SLM) positioned to illuminate the one or more regions with output light that is an optical phase conjugate of the modulated light, wherein the output light is a reflection of reference light from one or more pixels of the SLM, and the pixels modulate the reference light to create the output light in response to the modulated light detected by the sensor; and one or more detectors positioned to detect one or more resulting outputs that are based on an interaction between the output light and the one or more regions of the sample, thereby imaging the sample.
