自适应光学 (AO) 是一种利用波前传感器测量观测目标和光学仪器内部的波前像差,并对其进行动态校正,从而直接提高成像质量的技术。此校正通常采用直接改变光路长度的可变形反射镜。然而,为了以更高的精度校正像差,我们正在研究一种使用相位调制器 (LCOS-SLM) 的技术,它能够通过改变液晶材料的折射率,以在局部精细地移动光波的相位。自适应光学技术目前主要应用于眼底成像领域,它可以获得人类视网膜的高分辨率图像,因此非常有望早期诊断眼部疾病。
通过将使用 LCOS-SLM 的自适应光学技术应用于视网膜观察,能够以几微米的空间分辨率测量视网膜(从而看到感光细胞)。图 1 给出了自适应光学视网膜成像系统的概览。人眼被非常弱但充分满足激光安全标准的光照射,从视网膜散射的光通过 LCOS-SLM 返回到波前传感器。波前传感器由微透镜阵列和高灵敏度视觉相机组成。该波前传感器可测量由眼睛光学和成像设备引起的波前畸变。负反馈控制器根据波前传感器测量的波前畸变控制 LCOS-SLM 的输入信号,使输出波前变成平面波(或具有所需曲率的球形波)。

图 2 给出了展示像差校正效果的人类视网膜图像示例。无像差校正时,仅获得模糊和带噪声的图像(左:无 AO 校正)。这不会为观测提供有用的信息。但是,当激活像差校正后,感光细胞(亮点)变得可解析(右:有 AO 校正)。人眼中最小的感光细胞只有 2 μm 至 3 μm;结果表明,自适应光学对于观察感光细胞至关重要。
图 2:结果
已知视网膜具有多层结构。通过使用 LCOS-SLM 控制焦点位置,可以将视网膜每一层的组织可视化。图 3 给出了通过控制感光细胞、血管和神经纤维层的焦点深度位置获得的视网膜图像示例。左图给出了感光细胞的分布,其中亮点是感光细胞。根据感光细胞图像,可以分析分布密度、细胞排列、是否存在缺陷等指标来检测视网膜异常。中间的血管和血细胞图像显示了分叉的血管,以及血管壁(黑线)和血管中的血细胞(两条黑线之间的明亮区域)。血流还可以通过视频录像来测量。在右侧的神经纤维图像中,可以看到神经纤维束从左上角延伸到右下角。通过对观察到的高分辨率眼底图像进行分析,有望推动先进医疗技术的发展。
