Abstract

We introduce a novel laser-scanning optical microscopy technique that employs optical-frequency-comb (OFC) lasers. This method facilitates multimodal spectroscopic imaging by analyzing interferograms produced via a dual-comb spectroscopic approach. Such interferograms capture comprehensive light information, including amplitude, phase, polarization, frequency, and time of flight information, enabling multimodal imaging from a single measurement. We demonstrate the potential of this technique across several spectroscopic imaging applications.
