OCT: Basic Principles
• Three-dimensional imaging technique with high spatial resolution and large penetration depth even in highly scattering media
• Based on measurements of the reflected light from tissue discontinuities– e.g. the epidermis-dermis junction.
• Based on interferometry– interference between the reflected light and the
reference beam is used as a coherence gate to isolate light from specific depth.

OCT in non-invasive diagnostics
• Ophthalmology– diagnosing retinal diseases.
• Dermatology– skin diseases,– early detection of skin
cancers.• Cardio-vascular diseases
– vulnerable plaque detection.• Endoscopy (fiber-optic
devices)– gastroenterology– gynecology
• Embryology/Developmental biology
• Functional imaging– Doppler OCT (blood flow)– spectroscopic OCT (absorption,
high speed)– optical properties– Polarization Sensitive-OCT
(birefringence).
• Guided surgery– delicate procedures
• brain surgery,
• knee surgery

Good OCT sources have small coherence length and large bandwidth
![Page 24: Lecture 24](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062705/556da6b4d8b42a875d8b4a56/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Axial resolution
• The axial resolution is
– notice that is the 3dB-bandwidth!– The broader the bandwidth the shorter the
coherence length and the higher the resolution

Light sources for OCT
• Continuous sources– SLD/LED/superfluorescent fibers,– center wavelength;
• 800 nm (SLD),• 1300 nm (SLD, LED),• 1550 nm, (LED, fiber),• power: 1 to 10 mW (c.w.) is sufficient,
– coherence length;• 10 to 15 m (typically),
• Example– 25 nm bandwidth @ 800 nm
12 m coherence length (in air).

Superluminescent diodes (SLDs)Definition: broadband semiconductor light sources based on superluminescence(Acronym: SLD)Superluminescent diodes (also sometimes called superluminescence diodes or superluminescent LEDs) are optoelectronic semiconductor devices which are emitting broadband optical radiation based on superluminescence. They are similar to laser diodes, containing an electrically driven p-n junction and an optical waveguide, but lack optical feedback, so that no laser action can occur. Optical feedback, which could lead to the formation of cavity modes and thus to pronounced structures in the spectrum and/or to spectral narrowing, is suppressed by means of tilting the output facet relative to the waveguide, and can be suppressed further with anti-reflection coatings.
Superluminescence: amplified spontaneous emission

Light sources for OCT
• Pulsed lasers– mode-locked Ti:Al2O3 (800 nm),– 3 micron axial resolution (or less).
• Scanning sources– tune narrow-width wavelength over entire
spectrum,– resolution similar to other sources,– advantage that reference arm is not scanned,– advantage that fast scanning is feasible.
