After sensor module for reading and writing obtains the image information in analog signal by locking phase amplifying device, the image information that will acquire It converts and is stored as numerical data;
Imaging display module restores according to numerical data and shows image.
7. a kind of imaging method of the highly sensitive imaging system of low cost according to claim 6, which is characterized in that institute Sensor module for reading and writing is stated by the step after the image information in locking phase amplifying device acquisition analog signal, is specifically included following Step:
Reference signal frequency is arranged according to the modulating frequency of laser light source in reference signal unit, and reference signal is delivered to phase Sensitive detecting unit;
Phase sensitive detecting unit combination analog signal, reference signal and phase lock amplifying technology obtain image information;
The Frequency Synchronization of the analog signal and reference signal.
8. a kind of imaging method of the highly sensitive imaging system of low cost according to claim 7, which is characterized in that institute The step of programmable digital micro mirror encodes image is stated to include the steps that configuring programmable digital micro mirror, specifically:
A1, programmable digital micro mirror is configured according to preset encoder matrix;
After A2, each sensor module for reading and writing acquisition image information, judge whether the configured number of programmable digital micro mirror reaches Preset times, if so, restored image;Conversely, return step A1.
9. a kind of imaging method of the highly sensitive imaging system of low cost according to claim 6, which is characterized in that institute The step of imaging display module restores according to numerical data and shows image is stated, specifically:
Imaging display module combination compressive sensing theory and optimization method carry out operation numerical data, to restore and show image.
10. according to a kind of described in any item imaging methods for the imaging system that low cost is highly sensitive of claim 6, feature It is, described by after Laser modulation to predeterminated frequency, the step being radiated on subject, specifically includes the following steps:
Laser controller by the light modulation of first wave length in first frequency, by the light modulation of second wave length in second frequency;
By the light of first wave length across the first lens and the light of second wave length after the second lens, process two is formed to dichronic mirror Light is coupled, and will be coupled in light emission to subject.
