dc.description.abstractInfrared (IR) microspectroscopy is a powerful molecular fingerprinting tool widely used for the identification of structural and functional composition of biological and chemical samples. The IR microspectroscopy beamline at the Australian Synchrotron can be operated either with a single-point narrow-band mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) detector or a focal plane array (FPA) imaging detector with 64 × 64 pixels. For the implementation of indirect nonscanning imaging technology, the system was operated with the FPA detector. In this study, we propose an indirect IR imaging technique based on the principles of correlation optics using diffractive optical elements such as random pinhole array (RPA) and Fresnel zone plate (FZP). The spatial and spectral variations of point spread functions (PSFs) of the RPA and FZP were simulated for the synchrotron configuration. Intensity responses for 2D objects were simulated using the same simulation conditions and reconstructed using Lucy-Richardson algorithm. Fabrication of diffractive elements for IR wavelengths is often a challenging task as the IR transparent material substrates, such as barium fluoride and calcium fluoride, are highly susceptible to thermal shocks and brittle by nature. The diffractive elements were fabricated by ablating directly on a 100 nm thick gold coated substrate using femtosecond laser pulses. The simulation results and the fabrication outcomes demonstrate the feasibility of indirect imaging at the synchrotron IR beamline. © 2021 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)en_AU
