Abstract
The photonic time-stretch technique is a single-pulse broadband spectroscopy method enabled by dispersive Fourier transformation. This technique enables an extremely high spectrum acquisition rate, determined by the repetition rates of femtosecond mode-locked lasers, which are typically in the range of tens of MHz. However, achieving this high spectrum acquisition rate necessitates a compromise in either the spectral resolution or the spectral bandwidth to prevent overlaps between adjacent stretched pulses. In this study, we introduce a method that overcomes this limitation by incorporating compressive sensing with pulse-by-pulse amplitude modulation, enabling the decomposition of excessively stretched, overlapping pulses. Through numerical evaluations of optofluidic microparticle flow analysis and high-speed gas-phase molecular spectroscopy, we demonstrate the efficacy of our noise-resilient algorithm, showcasing a severalfold increase in the spectrum acquisition rate without compromising resolution and bandwidth.

Abstract
Fluorescence microscopy has undergone rapid advancements, offering unprecedented visualization of biological events and shedding light on the intricate mechanisms governing living organisms. However, the exploration of rapid biological dynamics still poses a significant challenge due to the limitations of current digital camera architectures and the inherent compromise between imaging speed and other capabilities. Here, we introduce sHAPR, a high-speed acquisition technique that leverages the operating principles of sCMOS cameras to capture fast cellular and subcellular processes. sHAPR harnesses custom fiber optics to convert microscopy images into one-dimensional recordings, enabling acquisition at the maximum camera readout rate, typically between 25 and 250 kHz. We have demonstrated the utility of sHAPR with a variety of phantom and dynamic systems, including high-throughput flow cytometry, cardiomyocyte contraction, and neuronal calcium waves, using a standard epi-fluorescence microscope. sHAPR is highly adaptable and can be integrated into existing microscopy systems without requiring extensive platform modifications. This method pushes the boundaries of current fluorescence imaging capabilities, opening up new avenues for investigating high-speed biological phenomena.

Abstract
Dual-comb microscopy enables high-speed and high-precision optical sampling by simultaneously extracting both amplitude and phase information from the interference signals with frequency division multiplexing. In this Letter, we introduce a spatiotemporal encoding approach for dual-comb microscopy that overcomes previous limitations such as mechanical scanning, low sampling efficiency, and system complexity. By employing free-space angular-chirp-enhanced delay (FACED) and a low-noise single-cavity dual-comb laser, we achieve scan-less 3D imaging with nanometer precision and a 3D distance-imaging rate of 330 Hz, restricted only by the repetition rate difference of the dual-comb laser. Specifically, the FACED unit linearly arranges the laser beam into an array. A grating subsequently disperses this array transversely into lines, facilitating ultrafast spectroscopic applications that are 1-2 orders of magnitude quicker than traditional dual-comb methods. This spatiotemporal encoding also eases the stringent conditions on various dual-comb laser parameters, such as repetition rates, coherence, and stability. Through carefully designed experiments, we demonstrate that our scan-less system can measure 3D profiles of microfabricated structures at a rate of 7 million pixels per second. Our method significantly enhances measurement speed while maintaining high precision, using a compact light source. This advancement has the potential for broad applications, including phase imaging, surface topography, distance ranging, and spectroscopy.

Abstract
High-speed optical polarization characterization is highly desirable for a wide range of applications, including remote sensing, telecommunication, and medical diagnosis. The utilization of the Mueller matrix provides a superior systematic and comprehensive approach to represent polarization attributes when matter interacts with optical beams. However, the current measurement speed of Mueller matrix is limited to only seconds or milliseconds. In this study, we present an ultrafast Mueller matrix polarimetry (MMP) technique based on optical time-stretch and spectral encoding that enables us to achieve an impressive temporal resolution of 4.83 nanoseconds for accurate Mueller matrix measurements. The unique feature of optical time-stretch technology enables continuous, ultrafast single-shot spectroscopy, resulting in a remarkable speed of up to 207 MHz for spectral encoding Mueller matrix measurement. We have employed an effective Mueller linear reconstruction algorithm based on the measured modulation matrix, accounting for all potential non-ideal effects of polarization components like retardance error and azimuth error. To ensure high precision, prior to the actual measurement, high-order dispersion induced by time-stretch requires adjustment through proper modulation matrix design. Upon such correction, both the results of static and rapid dynamic samples measurements exhibit exceptional accuracy with root-mean-square error (RMSE) approximately equal to 0.04 and 0.07 respectively. This presented ultrafast MMP provides a significant advance over preceding endeavors, enabling superior accuracy and increased speed concurrently.

Abstract
Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) emerged as a prominent imaging technique in 2013, attracting significant interest due to its remarkable features such as precise phase retrieval, expansive field of view (FOV), and superior resolution. Over the past decade, FPM has become an essential tool in microscopy, with applications in metrology, scientific research, biomedicine, and inspection. This achievement arises from its ability to effectively address the persistent challenge of achieving a trade-off between FOV and resolution in imaging systems. It has a wide range of applications, including label-free imaging, drug screening, and digital pathology. In this comprehensive review, we present a concise overview of the fundamental principles of FPM and compare it with similar imaging techniques. In addition, we present a study on achieving colorization of restored photographs and enhancing the speed of FPM. Subsequently, we showcase several FPM applications utilizing the previously described technologies, with a specific focus on digital pathology, drug screening, and three-dimensional imaging. We thoroughly examine the benefits and challenges associated with integrating deep learning and FPM. To summarize, we express our own viewpoints on the technological progress of FPM and explore prospective avenues for its future developments.

Abstract
Several optical microscopy methods are now available for characterizing scientific and industrial processes at sub-micron resolution. However, they are often ill-suited for imaging rapid events. Limited by the trade-off between camera frame-rate and sensitivity, or the need for mechanical scanning, current microscopes are optimized for imaging at hundreds of frames-per-second (fps), well-below what is needed in processes such as neuronal signaling or moving parts in manufacturing lines. Here, we present a scan-less technology that allows sub-micrometric imaging at thousands of fps. It is based on combining a single-pixel camera with parallelized encoded illumination. We use two acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) placed in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and drive them simultaneously with multiple and unique acoustic frequencies. As a result, orthogonal light stripes are obtained that interfere with the sample plane, forming a two-dimensional array of flickering spots - each with its modulation frequency. The light from the sample is collected with a single photodiode that, after spectrum analysis, allows for image reconstruction at speeds only limited by the AOD's bandwidth and laser power. We describe the working principle of our approach, characterize its imaging performance as a function of the number of pixels - up to 400 × 400 - and characterize dynamic events at 5000 fps.

Abstract
Single-shot optical imaging based on ultrashort lasers has revealed nonrepetitive processes in subnanosecond timescales beyond the recording range of conventional high-speed cameras. However, nanosecond photography without sacrificing short exposure time and image quality is still missing because of the gap in recordable timescales between ultrafast optical imaging and high-speed electronic cameras. Here, we demonstrate nanosecond photography and ultrawide time-range high-speed photography using a spectrum circuit that produces interval-tunable pulse trains while keeping short pulse durations. We capture a shock wave propagating through a biological cell with a 1.5-ns frame interval and 44-ps exposure time while suppressing image blur. Furthermore, we observe femtosecond laser processing over multiple timescales (25-ps, 2.0-ns, and 1-ms frame intervals), showing that the plasma generated at the picosecond timescale affects subsequent shock wave formation at the nanosecond timescale. Our technique contributes to accumulating data of various fast processes for analysis and to analyzing multi-timescale phenomena as a series of physical processes.

Abstract
In this study, ultrafast transient signals were detected on a single-shot basis using chirped-pulse up-conversion spectroscopy with dispersion compensation. Unlike in the conventional time-encoding technique using chirped pulses, distortion of the ultrafast waveform was reduced by applying dispersion compensation to the chirped probe pulses and using sum-frequency generation with the chirped readout pulses. The method was applied to terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and near-infrared pump-probe spectroscopy, providing ultrafast observations with an improved temporal resolution comparable to the transform-limited pulse durations. Terahertz waveforms, Kerr rotation signals, and phonon-polariton oscillations were measured accurately with no significant waveform distortion, thereby showing the proposed scheme to be promising for single-shot pump-probe spectroscopy in a wide range of spectroscopic applications.

Abstract
Dispersive Fourier transform is a characterization technique that allows directly extracting an optical spectrum from a time domain signal, thus providing access to real-time characterization of the signal spectrum. However, these techniques suffer from sensitivity and dynamic range limitations, hampering their use for special applications in, e.g., high-contrast characterizations and sensing. Here, we report on a novel approach to dispersive Fourier transform-based characterization using single-photon detectors. In particular, we experimentally develop this approach by leveraging mutual information analysis for signal processing and hold a performance comparison with standard dispersive Fourier transform detection and statistical tools. We apply the comparison to the analysis of noise-driven nonlinear dynamics arising from well-known modulation instability processes. We demonstrate that with this dispersive Fourier transform approach, mutual information metrics allow for successfully gaining insight into the fluctuations associated with modulation instability-induced spectral broadening, providing qualitatively similar signatures compared to ultrafast photodetector-based dispersive Fourier transform but with improved signal quality and spectral resolution (down to 53 pm). The technique presents an intrinsically unlimited dynamic range and is extremely sensitive, with a sensitivity reaching below the femtowatt (typically 4 orders of magnitude better than ultrafast dispersive Fourier transform detection). We show that this method can not only be implemented to gain insight into noise-driven (spontaneous) frequency conversion processes but also be leveraged to characterize incoherent dynamics seeded by weak coherent optical fields.

Abstract
Bandwidth and noise are fundamental considerations in all communication and signal processing systems. The group-velocity dispersion of optical fibers creates nulls in their frequency response, limiting the bandwidth and hence the temporal response of communication and signal processing systems. Intensity noise is often the dominant optical noise source for semiconductor lasers in data communication. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a class of electrooptic modulators that is capable of mitigating both of these problems. The modulator, fabricated in thin-film lithium niobate, simultaneously achieves phase diversity and differential operations. The former compensates for the fiber's dispersion penalty, while the latter overcomes intensity noise and other common mode fluctuations. Applications of the so-called four-phase electrooptic modulator in time-stretch data acquisition and in optical communication are demonstrated.

Abstract
Flow cytometry (FC) is a versatile tool with excellent capabilities to detect and measure multiple characteristics of a population of cells or particles. Notable advancements in in vivo photoacoustic FC, coherent Raman FC, microfluidic FC, and so on, have been achieved in the last two decades, which endows FC with new functions and expands its applications in basic research and clinical practice. Advanced FC broadens the tools available to researchers to conduct research involving cancer detection, microbiology (COVID-19, HIV, bacteria, etc.), and nucleic acid analysis. This review presents an overall picture of advanced flow cytometers and provides not only a clear understanding of their mechanisms but also new insights into their practical applications. We identify the latest trends in this area and aim to raise awareness of advanced techniques of FC. We hope this review expands the applications of FC and accelerates its clinical translation.

Abstract
Since the early 1990s, single-molecule detection in solution at room temperature has enabled direct observation of single biomolecules at work in real time and under physiological conditions, providing insights into complex biological systems that the traditional ensemble methods cannot offer. In particular, recent advances in single-molecule tracking techniques allow researchers to follow individual biomolecules in their native environments for a timescale of seconds to minutes, revealing not only the distinct pathways these biomolecules take for downstream signaling but also their roles in supporting life. In this review, we discuss various single-molecule tracking and imaging techniques developed to date, with an emphasis on advanced three-dimensional (3D) tracking systems that not only achieve ultrahigh spatiotemporal resolution but also provide sufficient working depths suitable for tracking single molecules in 3D tissue models. We then summarize the observables that can be extracted from the trajectory data. Methods to perform single-molecule clustering analysis and future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
Ultrafast dynamic machine vision in the optical domain can provide unprecedented perspectives for high-performance computing. However, owing to the limited degrees of freedom, existing photonic computing approaches rely on the memory's slow read/write operations to implement dynamic processing. Here, we propose a spatiotemporal photonic computing architecture to match the highly parallel spatial computing with high-speed temporal computing and achieve a three-dimensional spatiotemporal plane. A unified training framework is devised to optimize the physical system and the network model. The photonic processing speed of the benchmark video dataset is increased by 40-fold on a space-multiplexed system with 35-fold fewer parameters. A wavelength-multiplexed system realizes all-optical nonlinear computing of dynamic light field with a frame time of 3.57 nanoseconds. The proposed architecture paves the way for ultrafast advanced machine vision free from the limits of memory wall and will find applications in unmanned systems, autonomous driving, ultrafast science, etc.

Abstract
Complex and irregular cell architecture is known to statistically exhibit fractal geometry, i.e., a pattern resembles a smaller part of itself. Although fractal variations in cells are proven to be closely associated with the disease-related phenotypes that are otherwise obscured in the standard cell-based assays, fractal analysis with single-cell precision remains largely unexplored. To close this gap, here we develop an image-based approach that quantifies a multitude of single-cell biophysical fractal-related properties at subcellular resolution. Taking together with its high-throughput single-cell imaging performance (~10,000 cells/sec), this technique, termed single-cell biophysical fractometry, offers sufficient statistical power for delineating the cellular heterogeneity, in the context of lung-cancer cell subtype classification, drug response assays and cell-cycle progression tracking. Further correlative fractal analysis shows that single-cell biophysical fractometry can enrich the standard morphological profiling depth and spearhead systematic fractal analysis of how cell morphology encodes cellular health and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Single-shot ultrafast multi-frame imaging technology plays a crucial role in the observation of laser-induced plasma. However, there are many challenges in the application of laser processing, such as technology fusion and imaging stability. To provide a stable and reliable observation method, we propose an ultrafast single-shot multi-frame imaging technology based on wavelength polarization multiplexing. Through the frequency doubling and birefringence effects of the BBO and the quartz crystal, the 800 nm femtosecond laser pulse was frequency doubled to 400 nm, and a sequence of probe sub-pulses with dual-wavelength and different polarization was generated. The coaxial propagation and framing imaging of multi-frequency pulses provided stable imaging quality and clarity, as well as high temporal/spatial resolution (200 fs and 228 lp/mm). In the experiments involving femtosecond laser-induced plasma propagation, the probe sub-pulses measured their time intervals by capturing the same results. Specifically, the measured time intervals were 200 fs between the same color pulses and 1 ps between the adjacent different. Finally, based on the obtained system time resolution, we observed and revealed the evolution mechanism of femtosecond laser-induced air plasma filaments, the multifilament propagation of femtosecond laser in fused silica, and the influence mechanism of air ionization on laser-induced shock waves.

Abstract
Acute leukemia (AL) is one of the top life-threatening diseases. Accurate typing of AL can significantly improve its prognosis. However, conventional methods for AL typing often require cell staining, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, their performance is highly limited by the specificity and availability of fluorescent labels, which can hardly meet the requirements of AL typing in clinical settings. Here, we demonstrate AL typing by intelligent optical time-stretch (OTS) imaging flow cytometry on a microfluidic chip. Specifically, we employ OTS microscopy to capture the images of cells in clinical bone marrow samples with a spatial resolution of 780 nm at a high flowing speed of 1 m s-1 in a label-free manner. Then, to show the clinical utility of our method for which the features of clinical samples are diverse, we design and construct a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze the cellular images and determine the AL type of each sample. We measure 30 clinical samples composed of 7 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) samples, 17 acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) samples, and 6 samples from healthy donors, resulting in a total of 227 620 images acquired. Results show that our method can distinguish ALL and AML with an accuracy of 95.03%, which, to the best of our knowledge, is a record in label-free AL typing. In addition to AL typing, we believe that the high throughput, high accuracy, and label-free operation of our method make it a potential solution for cell analysis in scientific research and clinical settings.

Abstract
To achieve high frame rates and continuous streaming simultaneously, we propose a compressed spatio-temporal imaging framework implemented by combining time-delay-integration sensors and coded exposure. Without additional optical coding elements and subsequent calibration required, this electronic-domain modulation enables a more compact and robust hardware structure, compared to the existing imaging modalities. By exploiting the intra-line charge transfer mechanism, we achieve a super-resolution in both temporal and spatial domains, thus multiplying the frame rate to millions of frames-per-second. In addition, the forward model with post-tunable coefficients, and two reconstruction strategies proposed therefrom, facilitate a flexible voxels post-interpretation. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated by both numerical simulations and proof-of-concept experiments. With the prominent advantages of prolonged time window and flexible voxels post-interpretation, the proposed system will be suitable for imaging random, non-repetitive, or long-term events.

Abstract
High-speed and high-resolution imaging of surface profiles is critical for the investigation of various structures and mechanical dynamics of micro- and nano-scale devices. In particular, recent emergence of various nonlinear, transient and complex mechanical dynamics, such as anharmonic vibrations in mechanical resonators, has necessitated real-time surface deformation imaging with higher axial and lateral resolutions, speed, and dynamic range. However, real-time capturing of fast and complex mechanical dynamics has been challenging, and direct time-domain imaging of displacements and mechanical motions has been a missing element in studying full-field structural and dynamic behaviours. Here, by exploiting the electro-optic sampling with a frequency comb, we demonstrate a line-scan time-of-flight (TOF) camera that can simultaneously measure the TOF changes of more than 1000 spatial coordinates with hundreds megapixels/s pixel-rate and sub-nanometre axial resolution over several millimetres field-of-view. This unique combination of performances enables fast and precise imaging of both complex structures and dynamics in three-dimensional devices and mechanical resonators.

Abstract
Vascular stenosis caused by atherosclerosis instigates activation and aggregation of platelets, eventually resulting in thrombus formation. Although antiplatelet drugs are commonly used to inhibit platelet activation and aggregation, they unfortunately cannot prevent recurrent thrombotic events in patients with atherosclerosis. This is partially due to the limited understanding of the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs in the complex hemodynamic environment of vascular stenosis. Conventional methods for evaluating the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs under stenosis either fail to simulate the hemodynamic environment of vascular stenosis characterized by high shear stress and recirculatory flow or lack spatial resolution in their analytical techniques to statistically identify and characterize platelet aggregates. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate a method comprising an in vitro 3D stenosis microfluidic chip and an optical time-stretch quantitative phase imaging system for studying the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs under stenosis. Our method simulates the atherogenic flow environment of vascular stenosis while enabling high-resolution and statistical analysis of platelet aggregates. Using our method, we distinguished the efficacy of three antiplatelet drugs, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), cangrelor, and eptifibatide, for inhibiting platelet aggregation induced by stenosis. Specifically, ASA failed to inhibit stenosis-induced platelet aggregation, while eptifibatide and cangrelor showed high and moderate efficacy, respectively. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the drugs tested also differed in their efficacy for inhibiting platelet aggregation synergistically induced by stenosis and agonists (e.g., adenosine diphosphate, and collagen). Taken together, our method is an effective tool for investigating the efficacy of antiplatelet drugs under vascular stenosis, which could assist the development of optimal pharmacologic strategies for patients with atherosclerosis.

Abstract
As the gold-standard method for single-cell analysis, flow cytometry enables high-throughput and multiple-parameter characterization of individual biological cells. This review highlights the demands for clinical flow cytometry in laboratory hematology (e.g., diagnoses of minimal residual disease and various types of leukemia), summarizes state-of-the-art clinical flow cytometers (e.g., FACSLyricTM by Becton Dickinson, DxFLEX by Beckman Coulter), then considers innovative technical improvements in flow cytometry (including quantitative, spectral, and imaging approaches) to address the limitations of clinical flow cytometry in hematology diagnosis. Finally, driven by these clinical demands, future developments in clinical flow cytometry are suggested.

Abstract
Phytoplankton is a crucial component for the correct functioning of different ecosystems, climate regulation and carbon reduction. Being at least a quarter of the biomass of the world's vegetation, they produce approximately 50% of atmospheric O2 and remove nearly a third of the anthropogenic carbon released into the atmosphere through photosynthesis. In addition, they support directly or indirectly all the animals of the ocean and freshwater ecosystems, being the base of the food web. The importance of their measurement and identification has increased in the last years, becoming an essential consideration for marine management. The gold standard process used to identify and quantify phytoplankton is manual sample collection and microscopy-based identification, which is a tedious and time-consuming task and requires highly trained professionals. Microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip technology represents a potential technical solution for environmental monitoring, for example, in situ quantifying toxic phytoplankton. Its main advantages are miniaturisation, portability, reduced reagent/sample consumption and cost reduction.

Abstract
Real-time tracking of fast-moving targets has been utilized in various fields. However, the tracking performance of image-based systems for fast-moving targets is still limited by the huge data throughput and computation. In this study, an image-free target tracking system utilizing a digital micromirror device (DMD) is proposed. The proposed system effectively combines the dual-pixel measurement and window complementary modulation, and the alternating interpolation Kalman filter is implemented to fully use the performance of the DMD and maximize the update rate of the system. The accuracy of the proposed system at the maximum update rate of 22.2 kHz can achieve 0.1 pixels according to the experimental results. Meanwhile, we experimentally demonstrated that the accuracy of the proposed image-free target tracking system is within 0.3 pixels at a maximal velocity of 2 × 104 pixel/s at 22.2 kHz by evaluating the performance of the proposed image-free target tracking system when tracking fast-moving targets with different maximal velocity.

Abstract
Sequentially timed all-optical mapping photography (STAMP) is an effective tool for observing ultrafast and non-repetitive events. In the classical design of STAMP, the spatial resolution of the acquired images is different in two directions, severely limiting the scalability of STAMP. Here, by introducing an asymmetric optical design, we make the slicing mirror locate in the hybrid plane of the system, i.e., the image plane in the direction of the short edge, while the Fourier plane is in the direction of the long edge. This avoids the loss of the high-frequency components of the images and hence offers the possibility to further extend the frame number of the system.

Abstract
Biological cells, by definition, are the basic units which contain the fundamental molecules of life of which all living things are composed. Understanding how they function and differentiating cells from one another, therefore, is of paramount importance for disease diagnostics as well as therapeutics. Sensors focusing on the detection and stratification of cells have gained popularity as technological advancements have allowed for the miniaturization of various components inching us closer to Point-of-Care (POC) solutions with each passing day. Furthermore, Machine Learning has allowed for enhancement in the analytical capabilities of these various biosensing modalities, especially the challenging task of classification of cells into various categories using a data-driven approach rather than physics-driven. In this review, we provide an account of how Machine Learning has been applied explicitly to sensors that detect and classify cells. We also provide a comparison of how different sensing modalities and algorithms affect the classifier accuracy and the dataset size required.

Abstract
Derived from oceanography, nowadays the investigation of rogue waves (RWs) has been widely spread in various fields, particularly in nonlinear optics. Passively mode-locked fiber laser has been regarded as one of the excellent platforms to investigate the dissipative RWs (DRWs). Here, we report the observation of DRW generation induced by single and multi-soliton explosions in a passively mode-locked fiber laser. It was demonstrated that through the gain-mediated soliton interactions, one soliton could erupt because of the explosion of another soliton in the laser cavity. Meanwhile, the high-amplitude waves, which fulfill the DRWs criteria, could be detected in the multi-soliton explosion states. The DRWs were identified by characterizing the peak intensity statistics of the time-stretched soliton profiles. Particularly, it was found that the ratio between the highest recorded amplitudes and significant wave heights (SWHs) of DRWs induced by multi-soliton explosions is higher than that by single-soliton explosion case. Our findings will further contribute to the understanding of the physical mechanisms of DRWs in the soliton explosion regime.

Abstract
Dispersive time stretch has made many ultrafast applications possible owing to its high frame rate, as compared to conventional spectroscopies. By further introducing a converging time lens, this spectroscopy can resolve arbitrary emission spectra within the aperture. However, a spectral resolution of tens of picometers hinders its high-precision application. There are two limitations: the temporal aperture of the acquired signal and the actual acquisition bandwidth. To overcome these restrictions, two approaches were developed. First, a large-aperture time lens, with higher-order dispersion compensation, is used to overcome the fundamental limit of the time-bandwidth product. Second, asynchronous optical sampling, based on two frequency combs, overcomes the technical limit of the acquisition bandwidth. As a result, in this study, time-stretch spectroscopy achieved a 1-pm spectral resolution, 24-nm observation bandwidth, and 1-kHz frame rate. Moreover, it was used to observe some spectral dynamics of the random lasing process and devices with narrow spectral widths. This scheme provides essential improvement for time-stretch spectroscopy to achieve high precision.

Abstract
Driven by many applications in a wide span of scientific fields, a myriad of advanced ultrafast imaging techniques have emerged in the last decade, featuring record-high imaging speeds above a trillion-frame-per-second with long sequence depths. Although bringing remarkable insights into various ultrafast phenomena, their application out of a laboratory environment is however limited in most cases, either by the cost, complexity of the operation or by heavy data processing. We then report a versatile single-shot imaging technique combining sequentially timed all-optical mapping photography (STAMP) with acousto-optics programmable dispersive filtering (AOPDF) and digital in-line holography (DIH). On the one hand, a high degree of simplicity is reached through the AOPDF, which enables full control over the acquisition parameters via an electrically driven phase and amplitude spectro-temporal tailoring of the imaging pulses. Here, contrary to most single-shot techniques, the frame rate, exposure time, and frame intensities can be independently adjusted in a wide range of pulse durations and chirp values without resorting to complex shaping stages, making the system remarkably agile and user-friendly. On the other hand, the use of DIH, which does not require any reference beam, allows to achieve an even higher technical simplicity by allowing its lensless operation but also for reconstructing the object on a wide depth of field, contrary to classical techniques that only provide images in a single plane. The imaging speed of the system as well as its flexibility are demonstrated by visualizing ultrashort events on both the picosecond and nanosecond timescales. The virtues and limitations as well as the potential improvements of this on-demand ultrafast imaging method are critically discussed.

Abstract
Ultra-high-speed imaging serves as a foundation for modern science. While in biomedicine, optical-fiber-based endoscopy is often required for in vivo applications, the combination of high speed with the fiber endoscopy, which is vital for exploring transient biomedical phenomena, still confronts some challenges. We propose all-fiber imaging at high speeds, which is achieved based on the transformation of two-dimensional spatial information into one-dimensional temporal pulsed streams by leveraging high intermodal dispersion in a multimode fiber. Neural networks are trained to reconstruct images from the temporal waveforms. It can not only detect content-aware images with high quality, but also detect images of different kinds from the training images with slightly reduced quality. The fiber probe can detect micron-scale objects with a high frame rate (15.4 Mfps) and large frame depth (10,000). This scheme combines high speeds with high mechanical flexibility and integration and may stimulate future research exploring various phenomena in vivo.

Additionally, a novel, to the best of aour knowledge, simpler method to estimate its main systematic error has been proposed and verified. With the proposed method, static measurement of polarizer and wave plate is executed with a maximum coefficient error of below 0.1.

Abstract
Optical imaging is paramount for disease diagnosis and to access its progression over time. The proposed optical flow imaging (VFC/iLIFE) is a powerful technique that adds new capabilities (3D volume visualization, organelle-level resolution, and multi-organelle screening) to the existing system. Unlike state-of-the-art point-illumination-based biomedical imaging techniques, the sheet-based VFC technique is capable of single-shot sectional visualization, high throughput interrogation, real-time parameter estimation, and instant volume reconstruction with organelle-level resolution of live specimens. The specimen flow system was realized on a multichannel (Y-type) microfluidic chip that enables visualization of organelle distribution in several cells in-parallel at a relatively high flow-rate (2000 nl/min). The calibration of VFC system requires the study of point emitters (fluorescent beads) at physiologically relevant flow-rates (500-2000 nl/min) for determining flow-induced optical aberration in the system point spread function (PSF). Subsequently, the recorded raw images and volumes were computationally deconvolved with flow-variant PSF to reconstruct the cell volume. High throughput investigation of the mitochondrial network in HeLa cancer cell was carried out at sub-cellular resolution in real-time and critical parameters (mitochondria count and size distribution, morphology, entropy, and cell strain statistics) were determined on-the-go. These parameters determine the physiological state of cells, and the changes over-time, revealing the metastatic progression of diseases. Overall, the developed VFC system enables real-time monitoring of sub-cellular organelle organization at a high-throughput with high-content capacity.

Abstract
An imaging system capable of acquiring high-resolution data at a high speed is in demand. However, the amount of optical information captured by a modern camera is limited by the data transfer bandwidth of electronics, resulting in a reduced spatial and temporal resolution. To overcome this problem, we developed continuously streaming compressed high-speed photography, which can record a dynamic scene with an unprecedented space-bandwidth-time product. By performing compressed imaging in a time-delay-integration manner, we continuously recorded a 0.85 megapixel video at 200 kHz, corresponding to an information flux of 170 gigapixels per second.

Abstract
Laser scanning is used in advanced biological microscopy to deliver superior imaging contrast, resolution and sensitivity. However, it is challenging to scale up the scanning speed required for interrogating a large and heterogeneous population of biological specimens or capturing highly dynamic biological processes at high spatiotemporal resolution. Bypassing the speed limitation of traditional mechanical methods, free-space angular-chirp-enhanced delay (FACED) is an all-optical, passive and reconfigurable laser-scanning approach that has been successfully applied in different microscopy modalities at an ultrafast line-scan rate of 1-80 MHz. Optimal FACED imaging performance requires optimized experimental design and implementation to enable specific high-speed applications. In this protocol, we aim to disseminate information allowing FACED to be applied to a broader range of imaging modalities. We provide (i) a comprehensive guide and design specifications for the FACED hardware; (ii) step-by-step optical implementations of the FACED module including the key custom components; and (iii) the overall image acquisition and reconstruction pipeline. We illustrate two practical imaging configurations: multimodal FACED imaging flow cytometry (bright-field, fluorescence and second-harmonic generation) and kHz 2D two-photon fluorescence microscopy. Users with basic experience in optical microscope operation and software engineering should be able to complete the setup of the FACED imaging hardware and software in ~2-3 months.

Abstract
Light-in-flight (LIF) imaging is the measurement and reconstruction of light's path as it moves and interacts with objects. It is well known that relativistic effects can result in apparent velocities that differ significantly from the speed of light. However, less well known is that Rayleigh scattering and the effects of imaging optics can lead to observed intensities changing by several orders of magnitude along light's path. We develop a model that enables us to correct for all of these effects, thus we can accurately invert the observed data and reconstruct the true intensity-corrected optical path of a laser pulse as it travels in air. We demonstrate the validity of our model by observing the photon arrival time and intensity distribution obtained from single-photon avalanche detector (SPAD) array data for a laser pulse propagating towards and away from the camera. We can then reconstruct the true intensity-corrected path of the light in four dimensions (three spatial dimensions and time).

Abstract
In this paper, we review spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM), a common-path, phase-shifting interferometer, built onto a phase-contrast microscope, with white-light illumination. As one of the most sensitive quantitative phase imaging (QPI) methods, SLIM allows for speckle-free phase reconstruction with sub-nanometer path-length stability. We first review image formation in QPI, scattering, and full-field methods. Then, we outline SLIM imaging from theory and instrumentation to diffraction tomography. Zernike's phase-contrast microscopy, phase retrieval in SLIM, and halo removal algorithms are discussed. Next, we discuss the requirements for operation, with a focus on software developed in-house for SLIM that enables high-throughput acquisition, whole slide scanning, mosaic tile registration, and imaging with a color camera. We introduce two methods for solving the inverse problem using SLIM, white-light tomography, and Wolf phase tomography. Lastly, we review the applications of SLIM in basic science and clinical studies. SLIM can study cell dynamics, cell growth and proliferation, cell migration, mass transport, etc. In clinical settings, SLIM can assist with cancer studies, reproductive technology, blood testing, etc. Finally, we review an emerging trend, where SLIM imaging in conjunction with artificial intelligence brings computational specificity and, in turn, offers new solutions to outstanding challenges in cell biology and pathology.

Abstract
Deep learning is able to functionally mimic the human brain and thus, it has attracted considerable recent interest. Optics-assisted deep learning is a promising approach to improve forward-propagation speed and reduce the power consumption of electronic-assisted techniques. However, present methods are based on a parallel processing approach that is inherently ineffective in dealing with the serial data signals at the core of information and communication technologies. Here, we propose and demonstrate a sequential optical deep learning concept that is specifically designed to directly process high-speed serial data. By utilizing ultra-short optical pulses as the information carriers, the neurons are distributed at different time slots in a serial pattern, and interconnected to each other through group delay dispersion. A 4-layer serial optical neural network (SONN) was constructed and trained for classification of both analog and digital signals with simulated accuracy rates of over 79.2% with proper individuality variance rates. Furthermore, we performed a proof-of-concept experiment of a pseudo-3-layer SONN to successfully recognize the ASCII codes of English letters at a data rate of 12 gigabits per second. This concept represents a novel one-dimensional realization of artificial neural networks, enabling a direct application of optical deep learning methods to the analysis and processing of serial data signals, while offering a new overall perspective for temporal signal processing.

Abstract
Ultrafast imaging is essential in physics and chemistry to investigate the femtosecond dynamics of nonuniform samples or of phenomena with strong spatial variations. It relies on observing the phenomena induced by an ultrashort laser pump pulse using an ultrashort probe pulse at a later time. Recent years have seen the emergence of very successful ultrafast imaging techniques of single non-reproducible events with extremely high frame rate, based on wavelength or spatial frequency encoding. However, further progress in ultrafast imaging towards high spatial resolution is hampered by the lack of characterization of weak probe beams. For pump-probe experiments realized within solids or liquids, because of the difference in group velocities between pump and probe, the determination of the absolute pump-probe delay depends on the sample position. In addition, pulse-front tilt is a widespread issue, unacceptable for ultrafast imaging, but which is conventionally very difficult to evaluate for the low-intensity probe pulses. Here we show that a pump-induced micro-grating generated from the electronic Kerr effect provides a detailed in-situ characterization of a weak probe pulse. It allows solving the two issues of absolute pump-probe delay determination and pulse-front tilt detection. Our approach is valid whatever the transparent medium with non-negligible Kerr index, whatever the probe pulse polarization and wavelength. Because it is nondestructive and fast to perform, this in-situ probe diagnostic can be repeated to calibrate experimental conditions, particularly in the case where complex wavelength, spatial frequency or polarization encoding is used. We anticipate that this technique will enable previously inaccessible spatiotemporal imaging in a number of fields of ultrafast science at the micro- and nanoscale.

Abstract
In the past few decades, microalgae-based bioremediation methods for treating heavy metal (HM)-polluted wastewater have attracted much attention by virtue of their environment friendliness, cost efficiency, and sustainability. However, their HM removal efficiency is far from practical use. Directed evolution is expected to be effective for developing microalgae with a much higher HM removal efficiency, but there is no non-invasive or label-free indicator to identify them. Here, we present an intelligent cellular morphological indicator for identifying the HM removal efficiency of Euglena gracilis in a non-invasive and label-free manner. Specifically, we show a strong monotonic correlation (Spearman's ρ = -0.82, P = 2.1 × 10-5) between a morphological meta-feature recognized via our machine learning algorithms and the Cu2+ removal efficiency of 19 E. gracilis clones. Our findings firmly suggest that the morphology of E. gracilis cells can serve as an effective HM removal efficiency indicator and hence have great potential, when combined with a high-throughput image-activated cell sorter, for directed-evolution-based development of E. gracilis with an extremely high HM removal efficiency for practical wastewater treatment worldwide.

Abstract
We propose a rapid tomographic vibrometer technique using an optical comb to measure internal vibrations, transient phenomena, and tomographic distributions in biological tissue and microelectromechanical system devices at high frequencies. This method allows phase-sensitive tomographic measurement in the depth direction at a multi-MHz scan rate using a frequency-modulated broadband electrooptic multi-GHz supercontinuum comb. The frequency spacing was swept instantaneously in time and axisymmetrically about the center wavelength via a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator driven by a variable radio frequency signal. This unique sweeping method permits direct measurement of fringe-free interferometric amplitude and phase with arbitrarily changeable measurement range and scan rate. Therefore, a compressive measurement can be made in only the depth region where the vibration exists, reducing the number of measurement points. In a proof-of-principle experiment, the interferometric amplitude and phase were investigated for in-phase and quadrature phase-shifted interferograms obtained by a polarization demodulator. Tomographic transient displacement measurements were performed using a 0.12 mm thick glass film and piezo-electric transducer oscillating at 10-100 kHz with scan rates in the range 1-20 MHz. The depth resolution and precision of the vibrometer were estimated to be approximately 25 µm and 1.0 nm, respectively.

Abstract
Gyroscopes merit an undeniable role in inertial navigation systems, geodesy and seismology. By employing the optical Sagnac effect, ring laser gyroscopes provide exceptionally accurate measurements of even ultraslow angular velocity with a resolution up to 10-11 rad/s. With the recent advancement of ultrafast fibre lasers and, particularly, enabling effective bidirectional generation, their applications have been expanded to the areas of dual-comb spectroscopy and gyroscopy. Exceptional compactness, maintenance-free operation and rather low cost make ultrafast fibre lasers attractive for sensing applications. Remarkably, laser gyroscope operation in the ultrashort pulse generation regime presents a promising approach for eliminating sensing limitations caused by the synchronisation of counter-propagating channels, the most critical of which is frequency lock-in. In this work, we overview the fundamentals of gyroscopic sensing and ultrafast fibre lasers to bridge the gap between tools development and their real-world applications. This article provides a historical outline, highlights the most recent advancements and discusses perspectives for the expanding field of ultrafast fibre laser gyroscopes. We acknowledge the bottlenecks and deficiencies of the presented ultrafast laser gyroscope concepts due to intrinsic physical effects or currently available measurement methodology. Finally, the current work outlines solutions for further ultrafast laser technology development to translate to future commercial gyroscopes.

Abstract
We present high-resolution, high-speed fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) of live cells based on a compressed sensing scheme. By leveraging the compressibility of biological scenes in a specific domain, we simultaneously record the time-lapse fluorescence decay upon pulsed laser excitation within a large field of view. The resultant system, referred to as compressed FLIM, can acquire a widefield fluorescence lifetime image within a single camera exposure, eliminating the motion artifact and minimizing the photobleaching and phototoxicity. The imaging speed, limited only by the readout speed of the camera, is up to 100 Hz. We demonstrated the utility of compressed FLIM in imaging various transient dynamics at the microscopic scale.

Abstract
Understanding stray light (SL) is a crucial aspect in the development of high-end optical instruments, for instance space telescopes. As it drives image quality, SL must be controlled by design and characterized experimentally. However, conventional SL characterization methods are limited as they do not provide information on its origins. The problem is complex due to the diversity of light interaction processes with surfaces, creating various SL contributors. Therefore, when SL level is higher than expected, it can be difficult to determine how to improve the system. We demonstrate a new approach, ultrafast time-of-flight SL characterization, where a pulsed laser source and a streak camera are used to record individually SL contributors which travel with a specific optical path length. Furthermore, the optical path length offers a means of identification to determine its origin. We demonstrate this method in an imaging system, measuring and identifying individual ghosts and scattering components. We then show how it can be used to reverse-engineer the instrument SL origins.

Abstract
A low-cost compressive sensing imaging (CSI) system based on spectrum-encoded time-stretch (SETS) structure involving cascaded Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (MZIs) for spectral domain random mixing (also known as the optical random pattern generator) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A proof-of-principle simulation and experiment is performed. A mode-locked laser with a repetition rate of 50MHz and low-cost cascaded MZIs as the key devices enable fast CSI system. Data compression ratio from 6% to 25% are obtained using proposed CSI based SETS system. The proposed design solves the big data issue in the traditional time-stretch system. It has great potential in fast dynamic phenomena with low-cost and easy-access components.

Abstract
Phase imaging without a phase wrapping ambiguity is required for wide-axial-range 3D imaging in the fields of surface topography measurement and biomedical imaging. Although multicascade-linked synthetic-wavelength digital holography (MCL-SW-DH) using an optical frequency synthesizer (OFS) is a promising method to meet this requirement, the slow switching of multiple optical wavelengths in the OFS prevents rapid imaging. In the work described in this article, a line-by-line spectral-shaped electro-optics-modulator-based optical frequency comb (EOM-OFC) is used as a light source in MCL-SW-DH to achieve rapid image acquisition. While MCL-SW-DH enables surface topography measurement with millimeter-order axial range and micrometer-order axial resolution, the line-by-line spectral-shaped EOM-OFC extracts a single narrow-linewidth OFC mode from the 10 GHz-spacing EOM-OFC at a center wavelength of 1545 nm within a spectral range of 30 nm at an interval of 500 ms. The effectiveness of the proposed MCL-SW-DH was highlighted by performing surface topography measurement with four step differences of sub-millimeter to millimeter size with an axial uncertainty of 2.08 µm in the image acquisition time of several seconds. The proposed MCL-SW-DH will be a powerful tool for 3D imaging with a wide axial range and high axial resolution.

Abstract
A novel approach for ultrafast and temperature-insensitive strain interrogation using a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) based Sagnac loop interferometer (SLI) and linear wavelength-to-time (WTT) mapping is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The PM-PCF incorporated in the SLI is used as the sensing element to achieve stable strain sensing with ultra-low temperature-dependence due to its intrinsic thermal insensitivity, which can be used to eliminate the cross-sensitivity effect and increase the measurement accuracy. A dispersive element is employed to realize the WTT mapping and real-time strain interrogation is obtained by converting the strain-encoded wavelength shift to time shift in the temporal domain, which can be directly monitored by a real-time oscilloscope. The proposed system offers an ultrafast interrogation speed of 100 MHz and a strain sensitivity of -0.17 ps/με.

Abstract
Cameras with extreme speeds are enabling technologies in both fundamental and applied sciences. However, existing ultrafast cameras are incapable of coping with extended three-dimensional scenes and fall short for non-line-of-sight imaging, which requires a long sequence of time-resolved two-dimensional data. Current non-line-of-sight imagers, therefore, need to perform extensive scanning in the spatial and/or temporal dimension, restricting their use in imaging only static or slowly moving objects. To address these long-standing challenges, we present here ultrafast light field tomography (LIFT), a transient imaging strategy that offers a temporal sequence of over 1000 and enables highly efficient light field acquisition, allowing snapshot acquisition of the complete four-dimensional space and time. With LIFT, we demonstrated three-dimensional imaging of light in flight phenomena with a <10 picoseconds resolution and non-line-of-sight imaging at a 30 Hz video-rate. Furthermore, we showed how LIFT can benefit from deep learning for an improved and accelerated image formation. LIFT may facilitate broad adoption of time-resolved methods in various disciplines. Speed and 3D capability are often incompatible for non-line-of-sight imaging. Here, the authors introduce ultrafast light field tomography (LIFT) that uses an efficient light field acquisition technique to obtain 3D and time.

Schemes for microwave radiation generation with optical pumping are of great interest. In this paper we propose and experimentally demonstrate principally new method for photonic generation of microwave electromagnetic radiation. This method is based on the use of radiation of charged submicron particles oscillating at their own acoustic frequency. Laser radiation of the optical range implements an effective buildup of acoustic vibrations of submicron particles forming the system under study, according to the Raman mechanism.

Abstract
As a high-throughput data analysis technique, photon time stretching (PTS) is widely used in the monitoring of rare events such as cancer cells, rough waves, and the study of electronic and optical transient dynamics. The PTS technology relies on high-speed data collection, and the large amount of data generated poses a challenge to data storage and real-time processing. Therefore, how to use compatible optical methods to filter and process data in advance is particularly important. The time-lens proposed, based on the duality of time and space as an important data processing method derived from PTS, achieves imaging of time signals by controlling the phase information of the timing signals. In this paper, an optical neural network based on the time-lens (TL-ONN) is proposed, which applies the time-lens to the layer algorithm of the neural network to realize the forward transmission of one-dimensional data. The recognition function of this optical neural network for speech information is verified by simulation, and the test recognition accuracy reaches 95.35%. This architecture can be applied to feature extraction and classification, and is expected to be a breakthrough in detecting rare events such as cancer cell identification and screening.

Abstract
Parallel line-field Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (LF-FDOCT) has emerged to enable relatively higher speeds than the conventional FDOCT system. In the LF-FDOCT, one B-scan is captured at a time instead of scanning the beam to acquire hundreds of A-scans. On the other hand, spectroscopic OCT using the visible waveband provides absorption information over multiple wavelengths at each voxel. This information of spectral absorption enables quantitative measurement of blood oxygenation, voxel by voxel. Here, we presented the design and optimization of a LF-FDOCT system at the visible waveband (520-620 nm), especially using a generic Camera Link area sensor (2048 × 1088 pixels). To optimize the axial resolution and depth of imaging volume, we simulated various parameters and found that two Nyquist optima can exist, the origin and implication of which has been discussed. As a result, our system acquired 1088 A-scans in parallel at the camera's frame rate of 281 frame per second, achieving an equivalent rate of over 300,000 A-scan/s, while minimizing sacrifice in the point spread function (2.8 × 3.1 × 3.2 µm3, x × y × z) and the field of view (750 × 750 × 750 µm3). As an example of application, we presented high-speed imaging of blood oxygenation in the rodent brain cortex.
