1. Raman-pumped Fourier-domain mode-locked laser: analysis of operation and application for optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article opticsinfobase.org (Nov 20 2008) Ophthalmology

    We demonstrate a Raman-pumped Fourier-domain mode-locked (FDML) fiber laser and optical coherence tomography imaging with this source. The wavelength sweep range of only 30 nm centered around 1550 nm results in limited axial resolution, hence a nonbiological sample is imaged. An output power of 1.9 ... [Opt.

  5. Photothermal detection of gold nanoparticles using phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography.

    Explore Article NCBI HomePage (Jun 11 2008)

    The detection of a gold nanoparticle contrast agent is demonstrated using a photothermal modulation technique and phase sensitive optical coherence tomography (OCT). A focused beam from a laser diode at 808 nm is modulated at frequencies of 500 Hz-60 kHz while irradiating a solution containing nanoshells. Because the nanoshells are designed to have a high absorption coefficient at 808 nm, the laser beam induces small-scale localized temperature oscillations at the ... (Read Full Article)

  9. Three-dimensional endomicroscopy using optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article Nature Publishing Group (Feb 26 2008) Endoscopy

    Optical coherence tomography enables micrometre-scale, subsurface imaging of biological tissue by measuring the magnitude and echo time delay of backscattered light. Endoscopic optical coherence tomography imaging inside the body can be performed using fibre-optic probes. To perform three-dimensional optical coherence tomography endomicroscopy with ultrahigh volumetric resolution, however, requires extremely high imaging speeds. Here we report advances in optical coherence tomography technology using a Fourier-domain mode-locked frequency-swept laser as the light ... (Read Full Article)
