Abstract
We describe the design and initial applications of an instrument for time and spatially resolved photon migration tomography. The remote ultra low light imager (RULLI) records photon X, and Y positions, and time with <20 ps resolution. Placing the RULLI detector on one side of a scattering object, and illuminating the other side, measures the time history, amplitude, and positions of photons traveling through the object. Another configuration uses a fiber optic collecting array with elements placed at many locations surrounding the object. Spatial and temporal patterns of photon arrival are recorded from multiple source locations around the object, allowing reconstruction of optical properties of the medium.
