چکیده
1 μm axial resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) is demonstrated for in vivo cellular resolution imaging. Output of two superluminescent diode sources is combined to provide near infrared illumination from 755 to 1105 nm. The spectral interference is detected using two spectrometers based on a Si camera and an InGaAs camera, respectively. Spectra from the two spectrometers are combined to achieve an axial resolution of 1.27 μm in air. Imaging was conducted on zebra fish larvae to visualize cellular details.

Simultaneous optical coherence tomography and autofluorescence microscopy with a single light source.
We have accomplished simultaneous spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and autofluorescence (AF) microscopy with a broadband light source centered at 415 nm. The light source was provided by frequency-doubling of an ultra-fast broadband Ti:Sapphire laser. With a bandwidth of 8 nm, the visible SD-OCT achieved a depth resolution of ~12 μm. Since the two imaging modalities are pr...
متن کاملDesign of a k-space spectrometer for ultra-broad waveband spectral domain optical coherence tomography
Nonlinear sampling of the interferograms in wavenumber (k) space degrades the depth-dependent signal sensitivity in conventional spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT). Here we report a linear-in-wavenumber (k-space) spectrometer for an ultra-broad bandwidth (760 nm-920 nm) SD-OCT, whereby a combination of a grating and a prism serves as the dispersion group. Quantitative ray tra...
متن کاملRetinal Ganglion Cell Complex in Alzheimer Disease: Comparing Ganglion Cell Complex and Central Macular Thickness in Alzheimer Disease and Healthy Subjects Using Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography
Introduction: Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia worldwide. The modalities to diagnose AD are generally expensive and limited. Both the central nervous system (CNS) and the retina are derived from the cranial neural crest; therefore, changes in retinal layers may reflect changes in the CNS tissue. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine can show delicate retinal layer...
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...
متن کاملIn vivo imaging of human vasculature in the chorioretinal complex using phase-variance contrast method with phase-stabilized 1-μm swept-source optical coherence tomography.
We present a noninvasive phase-variance (pv)–based motion contrast method for depth-resolved imaging of the human chorioretinal complex microcirculation with a newly developed phase-stabilized high speed (100-kHz A-scans/s) 1-μm swept- ource optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) system. Compared to our previous spectral-domain (spectrometer based) pv-spectral domain OCT (SDOCT) system, this syst...
