Abstract

Inspiring development in optical imaging enables great applications in the science and engineering industry, especially in the medical imaging area. Photonic time-stretch imaging is one emerging innovation that attracted a wide range of attention due to its principle of one-to-one-to-one mapping among space-wavelength-time using dispersive medium both in spatial and time domains. The ultrafast imaging speed of the photonics time-stretch imaging technique achieves an ultrahigh frame rate of tens of millions of frames per second, which exceeds the traditional imaging methods in several orders of magnitudes. Additionally, regarding ultrafast optical signal processing, it can combine several other optical technologies, such as compressive sensing, nonlinear processing, and deep learning. In this paper, we review the principle and recent development of photonic time-stretch imaging and discuss the future trends.
