  Explore uspto.gov Oct 10 2017 Patents , Tunable Sources
  
  A swept source OCT system and related method are disclosed. The system comprises a control device for operating a tunable light source in response to an electronic sweep control signal such that the tunable light source carries out wave length sweeps with a repetition rate f.sub.sweep, which depends on the frequency of the sweep control signal. The system further comprises a detection device for the time-resolved detection of ...

3. Feature Of The Week 09/10/2017: Thermo-elastic Optical Coherence Tomography
  
  Explore Optical Coherence Tomography News Sep 9 2017
  
  The conventional OCT image contrast is derived from elastic scattering, and shows the internal structure of the sample. The determination of the tissue type in OCT images usually depends on the interpretation by the image reader. More accurate tissue type contrast may be achieved by new OCT-based imaging modalities, with sensitivity to other physical parameters than scattering alone. Phase-sensitive OCT can detect tissue motion on nanometer-to- micrometer length scales using ...

4. Thermo-elastic optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore OSA | OSA Publishing Sep 2 2017
  
  The absorption of nanosecond laser pulses induces rapid thermo-elastic deformation in tissue. A sub-micrometer scale displacement occurs within a few microseconds after the pulse arrival. In this Letter, we investigate the laser-induced thermo-elastic deformation using a 1.5 MHz phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. A displacement image can be reconstructed, which enables a new modality of phase-sensitive OCT, called thermo-elastic OCT. An analysis of the results shows that the ...

  At least one embodiment of the method is designed to create a two-dimensional image of a three-dimensional sample. The method comprises the following steps: provision of a wave-length-tunable light source (1) that emits primary radiation (P) with wavelengths that vary over time; sampling of location points of the sample (2) with the primary radiation (P); collection of secondary radiation (S), wherein the secondary radiation (S) is a part of the ...

6. INTRAPAPILLARY PROLIFERATION IN OPTIC DISK PITS: Clinical Findings and Time-Related Changes
  
  Explore LWW Online Apr 21 2017 Ophthalmology
  
  Purpose: To investigate the structural changes of intrapapillary proliferations associated with optic disk pits (ODPs) and optic disk pit maculopathy (ODP-M) using enhanced depth-spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-EDI-OCT) and megahertz optical coherence tomography (MHz-OCT). Methods: Sixteen eyes of patients with ODPs were studied. Papillary and peripapillary areas were repeatedly examined with SD-EDI-OCT over time. To evaluate swept-source OCT, some of the patients additionally received MHz-OCT-imaging. Results: MHz-OCT or SD-EDI images ...

7. Analysis of FDML lasers with meter range coherence
  
  Explore Conference Proceedings Mar 1 2017 Tunable Sources
  
  FDML lasers provide sweep rates in the MHz range at wide optical bandwidths, making them ideal sources for high speed OCT. Recently, at lower speed, ultralong-range swept-source OCT has been demonstrated using a tunable vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) and also using a Vernier-tunable laser. These sources provide relatively high sweep rates and meter range coherence lengths. In order to achieve similar coherence, we developed an extremely well dispersion ...

  Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT) has gained widespread use over the past few years, offering highly detailed images of coronary artery pathologies and interventions (1) . In contrast to the cross-sectional view, longitudinal sections and 3-dimensional (3D) renderings are affected by cardiac motion artifacts and undersampling, complicating interpretation and measurements (2) . We developed Heartbeat OCT, a new OCT method that achieves up to 4,000 frames/s imaging speed for isotropically ...

9. Flexible A-scan rate MHz OCT: computational downscaling by coherent averaging
  
  Explore Conference Proceedings Apr 21 2016
  
  In order to realize fast OCT-systems with adjustable line rate, we investigate averaging of image data from an FDML based MHz-OCT-system. The line rate can be reduced in software and traded in for increased system sensitivity and image quality. We compare coherent and incoherent averaging to effectively scale down the system speed of a 3.2 MHz FDML OCT system to around 100 kHz in postprocessing. We demonstrate that coherent ...

  A Fabry-Perot tuneable filter device is described with reflecting elements separated by an optical path length to form an optical resonator cavity. A first actuator means is directly or indirectly coupled with a first reflecting element. And the first actuator means is configured to modulate the optical path length between first and second reflecting elements by a modulation amplitude to thereby sweep the optical resonator cavity through a band of ...

  Cardiac motion artifacts, non-uniform rotational distortion and undersampling affect the image quality and the diagnostic impact of intravascular optical coherence tomography (IV-OCT). In this study we demonstrate how these limitations of IV-OCT can be addressed by using an imaging system that we called Heartbeat OCT, combining a fast Fourier Domain Mode Locked laser, fast pullback, and a micromotor actuated catheter, designed to examine a coronary vessel in less than one ...

  Raman sensing and microscopy are among the most specific optical technologies to identify the chemical compounds of unknown samples, and to enable label-free biomedical imaging. Here we present a method for stimulated Raman scattering spectroscopy and imaging with a time-encoded (TICO) Raman concept. We use continuous wave, rapidly wavelength-swept probe lasers and combine them with a short-duty-cycle actively modulated pump laser. Hence, we achieve high stimulated Raman gain signal levels ...
