A miniaturized fiber-coupled terahertz endoscope system.
In this study, we have designed, fabricated, and characterized a miniaturized optical fiber-coupled terahertz (THz) endoscope system. The endoscopic system utilized a photoconductive generator and detector driven by a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser. In reflection mode, the endoscope showed a high signal-to-noise ratio and a wide frequency spectrum similar to the conventional THz time-domain spec...
متن کاملUltra-thin rigid endoscope: two-photon imaging through a graded-index multi-mode fiber.
Rigid endoscopes like graded-index (GRIN) lenses are known tools in biological imaging, but it is conceptually difficult to miniaturize them. In this letter, we demonstrate an ultra-thin rigid endoscope with a diameter of only 125 μm. In addition, we identify a domain where two-photon endoscopic imaging with fs-pulse excitation is possible. We validate the ultra-thin rigid endoscope consisting ...
متن کاملA multicore optical fiber for distributed sensing
With advancements in optical fiber technology, the incorporation of multiple sensing functionalities within a single fiber structure opens the possibility to deploy dielectric, fully distributed, long-length optical sensors in an extremely small cross section. To illustrate the concept, we designed and manufactured a multicore optical fiber with three graded-index (GI) multimode (MM) cores and ...
متن کاملMU-Type Multicore Fiber Connector
We have developed a 7-core-fiber connector. To maintain both the ferrule floating mechanism and precise alignment around the ferrule axis, we employed Oldham's coupling mechanism inside the MUtype connector plug housing and realized an average attenuation of 0.13 dB and an average return loss of 46.8 dB.
متن کاملDesign of flexible multi-mode fiber endoscope.
Multi-mode fiber (MMF) endoscopes are extremely thin and have higher spatial resolution than conventional endoscopes; however, all current MMF endoscope designs require either that the MMF remain rigid during insertion and imaging or that the orientation of the MMF be known. This limits their possible medical applications. We describe an MMF endoscope design that allows the MMF to be arbitraril...
