Problems solved by technology

However, the multi-step transitional structure increases the length of the hard end of the probe, which is not conducive to curved intravascular imaging, and at the same time introduces additional insertion loss, which reduces the imaging sensitivity of the endoscopic OCT system

Abstract

The invention discloses an all-fiber endoscopic OCT probe based on a unit conic structure. The probe comprises an optical assembly formed through fusion of multiple optical fiber sections, a transmission assembly and a protective cover. The optical assembly has two structures, wherein one structure is composed of transmission single mode fibers, transition section tapering fibers and large fiber-core multi-mode fibers; and the other structure is composed of transmission single model fibers and asymmetrical dual tapering fibers. The tapering fibers are formed through tapering of large-fiber core multi-mode fibers; and the mode field diameter at fusion joints of each section of fibers of the optical assembly is consistent. The endoscopic OCT probe disclosed by the invention has the advantages that no optical focusing lens is needed; the structure is compact; transmission efficiency is high; the focus depth scope is large; and the probe is highly applicable to high-quality OCT imaging of heart and cerebral vessels.

Description

[0001] Original application number: 201510467764.6 Original application date: 2015.07.31 [0002] Original title of the invention: An all-fiber endoscopic OCT probe based on a tapered structure technical field [0003] The invention belongs to the field of endoscopic optical coherence tomography, and in particular relates to an all-fiber endoscopic OCT probe based on a unit cone structure. [0004] technical background [0005] Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful biomedical diagnostic method. Compared with other commonly used medical imaging methods, such as ultrasound imaging, OCT has higher sensitivity and resolution, and can Non-invasive high-resolution real-time in vivo imaging of tissues and organs in vitro such as eyes and skin. However, the imaging depth of OCT in biological tissues is very limited, usually 2-3mm, which restricts its application in a wider range of biomedical fields. Miniaturized and compact endoscopic probes can penetrate deep into the ...
