A concentric three element radial scanning optical coherence tomography endoscope.
We have developed a 2.1 mm outer diameter optical coherence tomography endoscope that provides radial scans of luminal structures. The endoscope consists of three elements: (1) a stationary central core containing the fibers and focusing elements, (2) a rotating intermediate tube with a distal rod prism, and (3) a stationary sterilized glass cover. This design enables radial and spiral scanning...
متن کاملOptically-modulated MEMS Scanning Endoscope for Optical Coherence Tomography
This paper presents a novel configuration of a MEMS scanning endoscope that is actuated by external optical modulation. Light at a wavelength in the 1550nm range is used to modulate a scanning MEMS mirror, and wavelength of 1310nm, commonly used for optical coherence tomography (OCT), is used for the probe beam. This novel approach provides for the operation of a scanning endoscope without the ...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography by all-optical MEMS fiber endoscope
This paper presents the first successful demonstration of all-optical MEMS (microelectromechanical system) fiber endoscope for OCT (optical coherence tomography) measurement. A MEMS optical scanner for spatial light modulation has been assembled in the endoscope probe head (φ 6mm) with optical components and a photovoltaic cell. Actuation energy for the MEMS scanner is optically supplied by usi...
متن کاملScanning single-mode fiber optic catheter-endoscope for optical coherence tomography.
We describe a new optical coherence tomography catheter-endoscope for micrometer-scale, cross-sectional imaging in internal organ systems. The catheter-endoscope uses single-mode fiber optics with a novel transverse scanning design. The distal end of the catheter-endoscope uses a gradient-index lens with a microprism to emit and collect a single spatial-mode optical beam with specific focusing ...
متن کاملMEMS scanning micromirror for optical coherence tomography.
This paper describes an endoscopic-inspired imaging system employing a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) micromirror scanner to achieve beam scanning for optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. Miniaturization of a scanning mirror using MEMS technology can allow a fully functional imaging probe to be contained in a package sufficiently small for utilization in a working channel of a sta...
