Quantitative dynamic cellular imaging based on 3d unwrapped optical coherence phase microscopyoptical coherence phase microscopy (Thesis)
Phase wrapping artifacts are frequently encountered in phase resolved imaging and sensing techniques based on interferometry. When the value of the actual phase ( φ ) ranges beyond ( - π, π], the extracted phase value (wrapped phase ψ ) is artificially increased or decreased by a multiple of 2π. In this study, we develop a 3D phase unwrapping method that exploits the correlation of 3D phase data ( φ ( x , y , t )) over the other dimension ( t ). We validate our 3D unwrapping method using simulated data, as well as experimental data obtained by optically computed phase microscopy (OCPM) recently developed in our lab. Our result s show that the 3D ...
