      Ultra-high-resolution SD-OCM imaging with a compact polarization-aligned 840 nm broadband combined-SLED source
      We analyze the influence of intrinsic polarization alignment on image quality and axial resolution employing a broadband 840nm light source with an optical bandwidth of 160nm and an output power of 12mW tailored for spectral-domain optical coherence microscopy (SD-OCM) applications. Three superluminescent diodes (SLEDs) are integrated into a 14-pin butterfly module using a free-space micro-optical bench architecture, maintaining a constant polarization state across the full spectral output. We demonstrate superior ...

      Taking the Pulse of the Eyes: OCT Measures the Mechanics of Eyes in Response to Heartbeats
      Life is measured in heartbeats, so they sayand heartbeats may soon help measure the health of our eyes. If doctors can measure pulse in the eye to diagnose corneal pathologies, the results may save vision and may also save lives. Every heartbeat sends a pulse wave of blood, inducing very small yet measurable changes in the eye volume, with a resultant momentary increase in intraocular pressure. Working from the postulate ...

      Functional optical coherence tomography and photoacoustic microscopy imaging for zebrafish larvae
      We present a dual modality functional optical coherence tomography and photoacoustic microscopy (OCT-PAM) system. The photoacoustic modality employs an akinetic optical sensor with a large imaging window. This imaging window enables direct reflection mode operation, and a seamless integration of optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a second imaging modality. Functional extensions to the OCT-PAM system include Doppler OCT (DOCT) and spectroscopic PAM (sPAM). This functional and non-invasive imaging system is ...

      Changes in Retinal Blood Flow in Response to an Experimental Increase in IOP in Healthy Participants as Assessed With Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography
      Purpose : Blood flow autoregulation is an intrinsic mechanism of the healthy retinal vasculature to keep blood flow constant when ocular perfusion pressure (OPP) is changed. In the present study, we set out to investigate retinal blood flow in response to an experimental decrease in OPP in healthy participants using Doppler optical coherence tomography. Methods : Fifteen healthy participants aged between 22 and 31 years (mean, 27 3 years) were included in ...

      Morpho-molecular ex vivo detection and grading of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer using forward imaging probe based multimodal optical coherence tomography and Raman spectroscop
      Non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer affects millions of people worldwide, resulting in significant discomfort to the patient and potential death. Today, cystoscopy is the gold standard for bladder cancer assessment, using white light endoscopy to detect tumor suspected lesion areas, followed by resection of these areas and subsequent histopathological evaluation. Not only does the pathological examination take days, but due to the invasive nature, the performed biopsy can result in significant harm ...

      Comparison of optical coherence tomography angiography and narrow-band imaging using a bimodal endoscope
      We present coregistered images of tissue vasculature that allow a direct comparison between the performance of narrow-band imaging (NBI) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Images were generated with a bimodal endomicroscope having a size of 152.43.3mm 3 ( l , w , h ) that combines two imaging channels. The white light imaging channel was used to perform NBI, the current gold standard for endoscopic visualization of vessels. The second channel ...

      En face optical coherence tomography: a technology review [Invited]
      A review on the technological development of en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence microscopy (OCM) is provided. The terminology originally referred to time domain OCT, where the preferential scanning was performed in the en face plane. Potentially the fastest realization of en face image recording is full-field OCT, where the full en face plane is illuminated and recorded simultaneously. The term has nowadays been adopted for high-speed ...

      Synthetic subaperture-based angle-independent Doppler flow measurements using single-beam line field optical coherence tomography in vivo
      We demonstrate a synthetic subaperture-based angle-independent Doppler flow calculation, using a line field spectral domain optical coherence tomography system. The high speed of the system features a high phase stability over the volume, which is necessary to apply synthetic subapertures in the aperture plane. Thus, the flow component for each subaperture can be reconstructed in postprocessing. Capillary phantom and in vivo retinal imaging experiments were performed to validate and demonstrate ...

      This paper presents an experimental investigation of the possibility of transverse resolution improvement combined with effective numerically focused 3D imaging in full-field swept-source optical coherence microscopy (OCM) by using structured illumination and specific numerical post-processing. The possibility of transverse resolution improvement of the OCM coherence signal combined with the possibility of numerical focusing is demonstrated by imaging a resolution test target in the optical focus and defocus regions. The possibility ...

      Combination of High-Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography and Raman Spectroscopy for Improved Staging and Grading in Bladder Cancer
      We present a combination of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Raman spectroscopy (RS) for improved diagnosis and discrimination of different stages and grades of bladder cancer ex vivo by linking the complementary information provided by these two techniques. Bladder samples were obtained from biopsies dissected via transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT). As OCT provides structural information rapidly, it was used as a red-flag technology to scan the bladder ...

      Multimodal Optical Medical Imaging Concepts based on Optical Coherence Tomography
      Optical medical imaging techniques in general exhibit outstanding resolution and molecule-specific contrast. They come however with a limited penetration in depth and small field of view. Multimodal concepts help to combine complementary strengths of different imaging technologies. The present article reviews the advantages of optical multimodal imaging concepts using optical coherence tomography (OCT) as core technology. In particular we first discuss polarization sensitive OCT, Doppler OCT and OCT angiography, OCT ...

      We demonstrate in vivo endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging in the forward direction using a flexible fiber bundle (FB). In comparison to current conventional forward-looking probe schemes, our approach simplifies the endoscope design by avoiding the integration of any beam steering components in the distal probe end due to two-dimensional scanning of a focused light beam over the proximal FB surface. We describe the challenges that arise when OCT ...

      Compact akinetic swept source optical coherence tomography angiography at 1060 nm supporting a wide field of view and adaptive optics imaging modes of the posterior eye
      Imaging of the human retina with high resolution is an essential step towards improved diagnosis and treatment control. In this paper, we introduce a compact, clinically user-friendly instrument based on swept source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). A key feature of the system is the realization of two different operation modes. The first operation mode is similar to conventional OCT imaging and provides large field of view (FoV) images (up to ...
