Abstract
We report an original two-dimensional time-resolved direct imaging method f or transillumination optical tomography that combines the time-gating and f orward phase-conjugation properties of type II degenerate parametric amplif ication. An object with subcentimeter resolution embedded in C-cm-thick chi cken breast tissue was imaged with a signal-to-noise ratio of 2. (C) 1999 O ptical Society of America.
