    • A multiple-stage optical Kerr gate system for gating a probe pulse of light. In a first embodiment, the system includes at least two optical Kerr gates, each Kerr gate including a polarizer, an optical Kerr cell actuable by a pump pulse, and an analyzer. In a second embodiment, at least one of the Kerr cells may be eliminated by arranging the respective sets of polarizers and analyzers so that they share a common Kerr cell. Gated pulses obtained using the present system typically have a signal to noise ratio that is at least 500 times better than that for gated pulses obtained using a single optical Kerr gate system. The system of the present invention may also include means for causing the pump pulse to arrive at the second Kerr cell (in the case of the first embodiment) or at a single Kerr cell a second time (in the case of the second embodiment) non-synchronously with the arrival of the probe pulse thereat. In this manner, gated pulses may be obtained that are much shorter in duration than pulses gated with a single optical Kerr gate system.
    • 用于门控光脉冲的多级光学克尔门系统。 在第一实施例中,该系统包括至少两个光学克尔门,每个克尔门包括偏振器,可由泵浦脉冲致动的光学克尔单元和分析器。 在第二实施例中,可以通过布置相应的偏振器和分析器组来消除克尔单元中的至少一个,使得它们共享公共克尔单元。 使用本系统获得的门控脉冲通常具有比使用单个光学克尔门系统获得的门控脉冲的信噪比更好的500倍的信噪比。 本发明的系统还可以包括用于使泵浦脉冲第二次(在第二实施例的情况下)到达第二克尔单元(在第一实施例的情况下)或单个克尔单元的装置 与探针脉冲的到来同步。 以这种方式,可以获得门控脉冲的持续时间短于用单个光学克尔门系统门控的脉冲。

    • A method for detecting the presence of one or more calcifications within a portion of a turbid medium, such as a breast tissue. According to one aspect, the method involves illuminating at least a portion of the turbid medium with light, whereby light emerges from the turbid medium consisting of a ballistic component, a snake-like component and a diffuse component, temporally and/or spatially gating the emergent light to preferentially pass the ballistic and/or snake-like components, using the temporally and/or spatially gated light to form an image of the illuminated portion of the turbid medium, and examining the image for the presence of one or more calcifications. Wavelength difference images may also be used to highlight tumors and calcification regions. The foregoing method may be used to form optical images of breast tissues, with the presence in such images of calcifications suggestive of cancer being used to identify the corresponding breast tissues as good candidates for biopsy and screening for tumors.

    • A method of forming 2 dimensional image of a translucent object in or behind a turbid medium. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of illuminating the translucent object through one side of the turbid medium with an ultrafast pulse of light, the light emergent from the opposite side of the turbid medium consisting of a ballistic component, a snake-like component and a diffuse component. The emergent light is then temporally and spatially gated to preferentially pass the ballistic component and the snake-like component. Preferably, the temporal and spatial gating is achieved by positioning the Kerr cell of an optical Kerr gate at the 2F spectral plane of a 4F Kerr-Fourier imaging system. At the appropriate time, that portion of the Kerr cell located at the focal point of the 2F spectral plane is gated open, allowing predominantly ballistic and snake-like components of the transilluminated light to pass therethrough. A cooled CCD detector is positioned at the 4F spectral plane to form a 2-dimensional image of the temporally and spatially gated light.
