Capturing blur-free images of fast movements like falling water droplets or molecular interactions requires expensive ultrafast cameras that acquire millions of images per second. In a new paper, researchers report a camera that could offer a much less expensive way to achieve ultrafast imaging for a wide range of applications such as real-time monitoring of drug delivery or high-speed lidar systems for autonomous driving.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur camera<\/a> uses a completely new method to achieve high-speed imaging,\u201d said Jinyang Liang from the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) in Canada. \u201cIt has an imaging speed and spatial resolution<\/a> similar to commercial high-speed cameras but uses off-the-shelf components that would likely cost less than a tenth of today\u2019s ultrafast cameras, which can start at close to $100,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a paper, titled \u201cDiffraction-gated real-time ultrahigh-speed mapping photography\u201d appearing in Optica<\/i>, Liang together with collaborators from Concordia University in Canada and Meta Platforms Inc. show that their new diffraction-gated real-time<\/a> ultrahigh-speed mapping (DRUM) camera can capture a dynamic event in a single exposure at 4.8 million frames per second. They demonstrate this capability by imaging the fast dynamics of femtosecond laser pulses interacting with liquid and laser ablation<\/a> in biological samples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
