Abstract

En 中文
Computing an Image Firing off a burst of laser pulses and detecting the back-reflected photons is a widely used method for constructing three-dimensional (3D) images of a scene. Kirmani et al. (p. 58 , published online 29 November) describe an active imaging method in which pulsed laser light raster scans a scene and a single-photon detector is used to detect the first photon of the back-reflected laser light. Exploiting spatial correlations of photons scattered from different parts of the scene allows computation of a 3D image. Importantly, for biological applications, the technique allows the laser power to be reduced without sacrificing image quality.
