Instantaneous complex conjugate resolved spectral domain and swept-source OCT using 3x3 fiber couplers.
We report that the complex conjugate artifact in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography approaches (including spectral domain and swept source OCT) may be resolved by the use of novel interferometer designs based on 3x3 and higher order fiber couplers. Interferometers built from NxN (N>2) truly fused fiber couplers provide simultaneous access to non-complementary phase components of the co...
متن کاملComplete complex conjugate resolved heterodyne swept-source optical coherence tomography using a dispersive optical delay line
Swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) provides a substantial sensitivity advantage over its time-domain counterpart, but suffers from a reduced imaging depth range due to sensitivity falloff and complex conjugate ambiguity. Heterodyne complex conjugate-resolved SSOCT (HCCR-SSOCT) has been previously demonstrated as a technique to completely resolve the complex conjugate ambiguity, e...
متن کاملComplex conjugate resolved heterodyne swept source optical coherence tomography using coherence revival
We describe a simple and low-cost technique for resolving the complex conjugate ambiguity in Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) that is applicable to many swept source OCT (SSOCT) systems. First, we review the principles of coherence revival, wherein an interferometer illuminated by an external cavity tunable laser (ECTL) exhibits interference fringes when the two arms of the int...
متن کاملComplex-conjugate-resolved imaging using two-harmonic FD-OCT
The two-harmonic FD-OCT method, where the quadrature components of the spectral interferogram are obtained by simultaneous acquisition of the first and second harmonics of the phase-modulated interferogram, is used for complexconjugate-resolved imaging of biological samples. The method is implemented using sampling of the phase modulated interferogram with an integrating detector array followed...
متن کاملRetinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Measurement Comparison Using Spectral Domain and Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography.
PURPOSE To investigate the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness concordance when measured by spectral domain (SD) and swept source (SS) optical coherence tomography (OCT), and to compare glaucoma-discriminating capability. METHODS RNFL thicknesses were measured with the scan circle, centered on the optic nerve head, in 55 healthy, 41 glaucoma suspected, and 87 glaucomatous eyes. The RNF...
