(15) 2021-07-08: Broadband rotary joint for high-speed ultrahigh-resolution endoscopic OCT imaging at 800 nm

The polarization state of the sample and reference arm was carefully managed by using polarization controllers to maximize the interference fringe contrast.

The fluctuation in the double-pass coupling efficiency was measured by connecting a short piece (∼5 cm long) of flat cleaved fiber to the rotary arm. The fluctuation of backreflected light intensity from the fiber tip during circumferential scanning was measured to be less than ±2% at a speed of 5 revolution/s (rps).

(14) 2021-07-04: Improved signal-to-noise ratio in spectral-domain compared with time-domain optical coherence tomography

The shot-noise density per detector element is reduced by a factor of 2 because only half of the reference arm’s optical power is incident upon each detection element.

Extending the above analysis demonstrates that the shot-noise contribution to the system is reduced by a factor approximately equal to the number of detectors over which the spectrum is dispersed.

By use of Nyquist’s theorem, the bandwidth per detector element (BW/M) in Eq. (8) is replaced by 1/(2${\tau _i}$), where ${\tau _i}$ is the integration time of the array.

In conclusion, the increased SNR in SD OCT compared with that of TD OCT is based on the significant reduction of shot noise obtained by replacement of the single-element detector with a multielement array detector.

(11) 2021-03-23: Inverse Design and 3D Printing of a Metalens on an Optical Fiber Tip for Direct Laser Lithography

The objective-first inverse method is used to design a metalens, which can be fabricated on the tip of a single mode fibre. The circular metalens can transform the parallel waveform to spherical wavefront, with a focal length of 8 um at the wavelength of 980 nm and a focal spot of 100 nm. For its demonstration use, the metalens is integrated with a 780 nm laser platform for two-photon direct laser lithography.

Insight: Can I use this design method to create desired pattern for ball lens used in the catheter?

Limitation: Manual control in the z-axis for the laser lithography.
