Background • Minimally-Invasive to Non-Invasive imaging system • Clinically used • High Resolution alternate to ultrasound imaging • One significant problem is speckle formation
Intensity Loss • Varying Patterns can cause loss of intensity of image and change in percent reflectivity • First, we must characterize default intensity loss by placing a flat mirror at the sample arm and having no deformations on the deformable mirror • Then, we deform mirror and characterize loss: • 3 dB loss 50% loss • 6 dB loss 75% loss • 9 dB loss 87.5% loss
Pattern 1 100% 80% % light reflected Amplitude Pattern 2 100% 80% % light reflected Amplitude Image Assembly
Correlation • If two images have speckle patterns that are the same, averaging them gives us no reduction in that speckle • We have to characterize how similar two images are using the formula:

Conclusion • Quantitative Benchmark: Reduce contrast ratio by 25% - 50% with a 6 dB mean intensity loss • Future Applications: Any Imaging system using a coherent light source can easily integrate the deformable mirror component. • Integration of the mirror will be efficient and cost effective.
