Fiber probes for biomedical imaging;Fiber optic probes for optical coherence tomography

摘要

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been intensively developed for the applications in biomedical research and industry. The fiber-based OCT system is definitely asked to miniaturize the conventional bulk-based system for convenient handling, high stability, and cost-effectiveness. For these fiber-based OCT systems, we need to use fiber-based probes. We review various lensed-fiber probes and the related scanning methods developed for effective sample scanning.
