Abstract
We introduce an optical frequency comb (OFC) to microscopy to coherently link the confocal microscopy and phase microscopy. One-dimensional (1D) image pixels of a sample were encoded onto OFC modes via 1D spectral encoding, in which OFC acted as an optical carrier with a vast number of discrete frequency channels. Then, a scan-less line-field confocal image with a depth resolution of 50 μm was decoded from a mode-resolved OFC amplitude spectrum obtained by dual-comb spectroscopy. Furthermore, a phase image with a depth resolution of sub-λ was decoded from a moderesolved OFC phase spectrum under the above confocality. The proposed hybrid microscopy approach will be a powerful tool for a variety of applications.
