The invention discloses an AO-OCT imaging
system and method based on a coherent gate virtual Shack-Hartman
wavefront detection technology. The
system comprises a
beacon light source, an imaging lightsource, first and second collimating mirrors, first and second dichroscopes, a spectroscope, a
wavefront correction device, an
actuator, an electric translation platform, a
wavefront detection camera,an imaging camera, a computer, a wavefront controller, a
signal generation card, first and second
image acquisition cards and the like. The coherence gate virtual Shack-Hartman wavefront detection technology is used to detect an aberration of a specific layer in a sample and an AO technology is used to correct the aberration, and a full-field
time domain OCT technology is used to carry out high-resolution OCT imaging on the layer. The
system can be positioned at any layer in the sample, and through
wavefront aberration detection and correction of the layer, the high-resolution imaging of thelayer is realized. The structure and installation and adjustment of the system are simple, an order of the detection aberration can be flexibly adjusted, non-common-path aberrations are reduced, a system size and cost are decreased and so on.
