We investigated the optimal operational conditions for utilizing a broadband supercontinuum (SC) source in a portable 800 nm spectral-domain (SD) endoscopic OCT system to enable high resolution, high-sensitivity, and high-speed imaging in vivo. A SC source with a 3-dB bandwidth of ∼246 nm was employed to obtain an axial resolution of ∼2.7 μm (in air) and an optimal detection sensitivity of ∼-107 dB with an imaging speed up to 35 frames/s (at 70 k A-scans/s). The performance of the SC-based SD-OCT endoscopy system was demonstrated by imaging guinea pig esophagus in vivo, achieving image quality comparable to that acquired with a broadband home-built Ti:sapphire laser.
我们研究了在便携式800纳米光谱域(SD)内窥光学相干断层扫描(OCT)系统中利用宽带超连续谱(SC)光源的最佳操作条件,以实现体内高分辨率、高灵敏度和高速成像。采用一个3分贝带宽约为246纳米的SC光源,以获得约2.7微米(空气中)的轴向分辨率和约-107分贝的最佳检测灵敏度,成像速度高达35帧/秒(70千次A线扫描/秒)。基于SC的SD-OCT内窥镜系统的性能通过对豚鼠食管进行体内成像得到了证明,获得的图像质量与使用宽带自制钛宝石激光器获得的图像质量相当。
