K. Uhlendorf et al., Investigation of the reflection-type double-pass confocal microscope with a phase-conjugate mirror, APP PHYS B, 68(5), 1999, pp. 1043-1045
New experimental results about a reflection-type double-pass confocal micro
scope with a phase-conjugate mirror are presented. Exploiting the change of
polarization of the light, when it is reflected at the object, gives the p
ossibility to enhance the axial resolution of the microscope compared to th
at of the conventional confocal microscope by a factor of 65%. Furthermore,
investigations on the time behavior of the PCM are presented.
