چکیده
We present experimental results of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography systems using arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWG) for the 800-nm and 1300-nm spectral ranges. A phantom is imaged by using the 1300-nm AWG. Keywords-arrayed waveguide grating; optical coherence tomography; integrated optics

Integrated AWG Spectrometer for On-chip Optical Coherence Tomography and Raman Spectroscopy
Silicon oxynitride-based arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) spectrometers were designed for on-chip spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems and Raman spectroscopy of the skin. A novel geometrical layout for Raman spectroscopy was introduced to reduce loss. Measurements show that integrated optics has a good potential for miniaturizing current OCT systems. Keywords-arrayed wavegu...
متن کاملSpectral domain optical coherence tomography imaging with an integrated optics spectrometer.
We designed and fabricated an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) in silicon oxynitride as a spectrometer for spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). The AWG has a footprint of only 3.0 cm × 2.5 cm, operates at a center wavelength of 1300 nm, and has 78 nm free spectral range. OCT measurements are performed that demonstrate imaging up to a maximum depth of 1 mm with an axial resoluti...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive, three-dimensional imaging modality with several medical and industrial applications. Integrated photonics has the potential to enable mass production of OCT devices to significantly reduce size and cost, which can increase its use in established fields as well as enable new applications. Using silicon nitride (Si3N4) and silicon dioxide (SiO2...
متن کاملAn integrated microspectrometer for localised multiplexing measurements.
We describe the development of an integrated lensed Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) microspectrometer for localized multiplexing fluorescence measurements. The device, which has a footprint that is only 1 mm wide and 1 cm long, is capable of spectroscopic measurements on chip. Multiple fluorescence signals were measured simultaneously based upon simple intensity readouts from a CCD camera. We a...
متن کاملRaman Spectroscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography on a Chip
Miniaturization of optical instruments for biomedical applications requires the development of efficient means to deliver excitation light to – and collect the resulting signals from – biomedical tissue by an optical microchip, as well as spectral analysis of the acquired information on the chip. We have investigated light collection by integrated waveguides, invented a method for on-chip confo...
