Research Interests

we design and build lenses with very unusual properties, e.g. the capability to extract tomographic (3D) images and hyperspectral images (i.e. color-specific with hundreds of color channels) with high resolution, long working distance, small overall system size (no multi-element lens trains!) and minimal scanning.

·         Laser Scanning Volume Holographic Imaging (LSVHI)

·         Spherical wave reference volume holographic imaging (SR-VHI)

·         Planar wave reference volume holographic imaging (PR-VHI)

·         Broadband and rainbow volume holographic imaging (WR-VHI)
