Design 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...
متن کاملMeasurement and compensation of residual group delay in a multi-core fiber for lensless endoscopy
We present a new experimental concept suitable for partially compensating the inter-core group delay dispersion in a multi-core fiber (MCF). First we map out the group delays of all 169 single-mode cores of a MCF using phase-shifting spectral interferometry and find the group delays distributed with standard deviation 123 fs in a 30 cm long MCF. We then detail and apply the compensation scheme ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution, lensless endoscope based on digital scanning through a multimode optical fiber
We propose and experimentally demonstrate an ultra-thin rigid endoscope (450 μm diameter) based on a passive multimode optical fiber. We use digital phase conjugation to overcome the modal scrambling of the fiber to tightly focus and scan the laser light at its distal end. By exploiting the maximum number of modes available, sub-micron resolution, high quality fluorescence images of neuronal ce...
متن کاملRobotic Control of a Traditional Flexible Endoscope
In flexible endoscopy the interior surfaces of the gastrointestinal, reproductive and respiratory tracts are assessed. The physician uses a flexible endoscope with a camera at the steerable distal tip that is introduced in the natural body openings. Instruments can be inserted in the endoscope. These protrude from the tip and enable performing interventions, like resection of small polyps. Curr...
متن کاملA 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...
