We developed a new method to improve focusing in real-time swept-source optical coherence microscopy. This technique achieves a 1.5 mm depth of focus and 5 micrometer resolution, enabling faster imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Optics
  • Microscopy
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • Real-time swept-source optical coherence microscopy (SS-OCM) is crucial for in vivo imaging.
  • Optimizing focusing conditions is essential for achieving high-resolution and extended depth of field in SS-OCM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel scheme for optimizing the focusing condition in real-time SS-OCM.
  • To numerically analyze the behavior of custom spatial filters for improved optical performance.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulation of four-zone binary-phase spatial filters.
  • Experimental verification of the proposed focusing optimization scheme.
  • Characterization of axial intensity distribution and lateral resolution.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a nearly constant axial intensity distribution over an extended depth of focus (1.5 mm).
  • Demonstrated a lateral resolution of 5 micrometers.
  • Verified high A-line scan rate (up to 16 kHz) enabling a frame rate of 25 Hz with 640 lines per image.

Conclusions:

  • The novel focusing scheme significantly enhances the performance of real-time SS-OCM.
  • The method provides a practical solution for achieving both extended depth of focus and high lateral resolution.
  • This advancement facilitates more detailed and efficient microscopic imaging in biological applications.
