  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a promising imaging technique in medicine and biology, which allows for obtaining high-resolution, cross-sectional images of biological tissues. In the past decade, the imaging speed of OCT is consistently increasing, and currently OCT can acquire three-dimensional (3D) images in real time with imaging speed up to 10-MHz A-scan rate. With such a high imaging rate, OCT system has to acquire a large amount of data, which is too massive for data transmission and storage. Compressed sensing (CS) technique is a powerful method to solve this problem. It exploits the sparsity property of the signal and ...

  We present a sparse-sampled camera for compressed sensing spectral domain optical coherence tomography (CS SD-OCT), which is mainly composed of a novel mask with specially designed coating and a commercially available CCD camera. The sparse-sampled camera under-samples the SD-OCT spectrum in hardware, thus reduces the acquired image data and can achieve faster A-scan speed than conventional CCD camera with the same pixel number. Compared with a conventional SD-OCT system, the CS SD-OCT system equipped with the sparse-sampled camera has better fall-off and SNR performance. CS-OCT imaging of bio-tissue is also demonstrated.

3. Conjugate transformation for dispersion compensation in optical coherence tomography imaging
  
  Explore IEEE Xplore Feb 17 2018
  
  In optical coherence tomography (OCT), the sample dispersion tends to increase the signal width and hence lower down the resolution, resulting in serious image quality degradation, especially for imaging over a large depth range or media with large dispersion coefficient. In this letter, instead of the conventional Fourier transformation for dispersion compensation that can compensate the image only ideally at a certain depth, a novel transformation, as called conjugate transformation, is proposed to achieve high resolution at all depth by utilizing the conjugate function of the signal itself as an optimized integral kernel. A large dispersion media of ZnSe is ...

4. Endoscopic optical coherence tomography with a focus-adjustable probe

  We present a focus-adjustable endoscopic probe for optical coherence tomography (OCT), which is able to acquire images with different focal planes and overcome depth-of-focus limitations by image fusing. The use of a two-way shape-memory-alloy spring enables the probe to adjust working distance over 1.5 mm, providing a large scanning range with high resolution and no sensitivity loss. Equipped with a homemade hollow-core ultrasonic motor, the probe is capable of performing an unobstructed 360 deg field-of-view distal scanning. Both the axial resolution and the best lateral resolution are ∼ 4 μm ∼4 μm , with a sensitivity of 100.3 dB. Spectral-domain ...
