Abstract:The microchip laser frequency-shifted feedback imaging technology is an emerging coherent optical imaging technology with high sensitivity, measurable phase and simple structure. To be combined with various imaging technologies such as laser confocal imaging, ultrasonic-modulated optical imaging and optical synthetic aperture imaging, it has been applied in various fields of microstructure measurement, biological tissue imaging, strong scattering medium imaging, etc. In this paper, the development process of laser feedback technology is summarized, the theoretical model, research progress and applications of the microchip laser frequency-shifted feedback imaging technology are introduced, and the existing problems are analyzed.
