About Costel Flueraru

Costel Flueraru

Costel Flueraru received an MS in engineering physics and a PhD in physics from the University of Bucharest Romania. During his PhD program, he conducted research in the Department of Applied Physics Applied Optics Group, University of Twente, Netherlands. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Postdam, Germany, and the Max Planck Institute for Interfaces and Colloids, Berlin, Germany, where he investigated nonlinear optical properties of organic materials. He was a visiting fellow at the Steacie Institute for Molecular Science, National Research Council NRC, Canada, before joining the optics group at the Institute for Microstructural Sciences, NRC, in 2001. He is now with the Institute for Microstructural Sciences, National Research Council of Canada.

  5. Added soft tissue contrast using signal attenuation and the fractal dimension for optical coherence tomography images of porcine arterial tissue

    Explore Article IOPscience (Apr 4 2010)

    Added soft tissue contrast using signal attenuation and the fractal dimension for optical coherence tomography images of porcine arterial tissue Optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of left-descending coronary tissues harvested from three porcine specimens were acquired with a home-build swept-source OCT setup. Despite the fact that OCT is capable of acquiring high resolution circumferential images of vessels, many distinct histological features of a vessel have comparable optical properties leading to poor contrast in OCT images. Two classification methods were tested in this report for the purpose of enhancing contrast between ... (Read Full Article)

    Quadrature interferometry based on 3×3 fiber couplers could be used to double the effective imaging depth in Swept- Source Optical Coherence Tomography. This is due to its ability to suppress the complex conjugate artifact naturally. We present theoretical and experimental results for a 3×3 Mach-Zehnder interferometer using a new unbalanced differential optical detection method. The new interferometer provides simultaneous access to complementary phase components of the complex interferometric signal. No ... (Read Full Article)
