Nigel R. Munce, Adrian Mariampillai, Beau A. Standish, Mihaela Pop, Kevan J. Anderson, George Y. Liu, Tim Luk, Brian K. Courtney, Graham A. Wright, I. Alex Vitkin, Victor X. D. Yang. A novel flexible scanning optical probe is constructed with a finely etched optical fiber strung through a platinum coil in the lumen of a dissipative polymer. The packaged probe is 2.2mm in diameter with a rigid length of 6mm when using a ball lens or 12mm when scanning the fiber proximal to a ... [Opt. Lett. 33, 657-659 (2008)]
