Single Beam Optical Imaging using High Harmonic Generation and Terahertz as Light Sources

Our collaborative project unites Brazilian and Canadian institutions to drive innovations in high-resolution microscopy and materials characterization. Leveraging cutting-edge techniques like High Harmonic Generation (HHG) and Terahertz (THz) sources, alongside novel imaging methods such as Spatial Frequency-modulated Imaging (SPIFI) and the Derivative Optical Imaging Technique (DOIT), the University of Federal do Paraná (UFPR) in Brazil and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) in Canada will be able to initiate studies in the field of optical imaging. This collaboration introduces practical methodologies for optical imaging, addressing the economic challenges inherent to scientific research in emerging nations while benefiting INRS, an established research institution, by expanding its international network and collaborating on pioneering research. The project reinforces Canada’s position at the forefront of scientific innovation, particularly in optical imaging and nonlinear optics. Furthermore, the project serves as a model for international partnerships. It not only helps emerging economies like Brazil to collaborate with established research institutions like INRS but also promotes knowledge sharing and global progress in the field of optical imaging. This collaboration is particularly significant as it combines the strengths and resources of both countries to address common research challenges, benefiting the global scientific community.
