We analyze the influence of intrinsic polarization alignment on image quality and axial resolution employing a broadband 840 nm light source with an optical bandwidth of 160 nm and an output power of 12 mW tailored for spectral-domain optical coherence microscopy (SD-OCM) applications. Three superluminescent diodes (SLEDs) are integrated into a 14-pin butterfly module using a free-space micro-optical bench architecture, maintaining a constant polarization state across the full spectral output. We demonstrate superior imaging performance in comparison to traditionally coupled-SLED broadband light sources in a teleost model organism .
我们使用一个光学带宽为160nm、输出功率为12mW的宽带840nm光源来分析固有偏振对准对图像质量和轴向分辨率的影响,该光源是为光谱域光学相干显微镜(SD-OCM)应用量身定制的。三个超发光二极管(SLED)使用自由空间微光学平台架构集成到一个14引脚蝶形模块中,在整个光谱输出范围内保持恒定的偏振状态。在硬骨鱼模型生物中,我们展示了与传统耦合SLED宽带光源相比更优异的成像性能。
