Tomographie en cohérence optique dans le domaine de Fourier appliquée aux tissus humains

Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography FDOCT is a recent imaging technique based on the principle of Low Coherence Interferometry. In FDOCT cross-sectional images of diffusing objects are synthesised from a measure of backscattered light. The main adv ...

Optical apparatus for dual beam heterodyne Fourier domain optical coherence tomography, has detector that synchronizes phase shift such that sample signal or sample interface moving at arbitrary velocity is detected by phase change

Theo Lasser, Rainer Leitgeb, Martin Villiger, Adrian Bachmann, Roland Michaely

NOVELTY - The apparatus has an optical unit for splitting a source field to produce and combine reference and biomedical sample light fields. An optical and electronic unit records a spectral interference pattern between combined light fields. A controlled ...

Frequency encoded assessment of retinal physiology

Theo Lasser, Adrian Bachmann, Rainer Leitgeb, Roland Michaely, Cédric Blatter

We demonstrate in-vivo functional imaging of the human retina with Fourier domain optical coherence tomography employing frequency encoding of an excitation pattern. The principle is based on projecting a modulated rectangular pattern across the foveal reg ...

Theoretical analysis of complex-conjugate-ambiguity suppression in frequency-domain optical-coherence tomography

Michaël Unser, Rainer Leitgeb, Roland Michaely

New phase-shifting techniques have recently been proposed to suppress the complex-conjugate ambiguity in frequency-domain optical-coherence tomography. A phase shift is introduced, in an elegant fashion, by incorporating a small beam offset at the scanning ...

Vectorial retinal blood flow and optical vessel vivisection for 3D angiography with high resolution resonant Doppler OCT

Theo Lasser, Martin Villiger, Rainer Leitgeb, Cédric Blatter, Adrian Bachmann, Roland Michaely

PURPOSE: To perform high speed and completely non-invasive 3D angiography at the optic nerve head region and to reconstruct vectorial 3D blood flow from optically segmented blood vessel structure as a pre-requisite for testing retinal function and physiolo ...

Intensity based quantification of fast retinal blood flow in 3D via high resolution resonant Doppler spectral OCT

Theo Lasser, Cédric Blatter, Rainer Leitgeb, Martin Villiger, Adrian Bachmann, Roland Michaely

Resonant Doppler Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography is a functional imaging modality for quantifying fast tissue flow. The method profits from the effect of interference fringe blurring in spectrometer-based FDOCT in the presence of sample motion. ...

Vectorial reconstruction of retinal blood flow in three dimensions measured with high resolution resonant Doppler Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Cédric Blatter, Rainer Leitgeb, Martin Villiger, Adrian Bachmann, Roland Michaely

Resonant Doppler Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) is a functional imaging tool for extracting tissue flow. The method is based on the effect of interference fringe blurring in spectrometer-based FDOCT, where the path difference between s ...

Complex Ambiguity-Free Fourier Domain Optical Coherence Tomography through Transverse Scanning

Theo Lasser, Rainer Leitgeb, Roland Michaely

We introduce a simple and cheap method for phase-shifting Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) that does not need additional devices and can easily be implemented. A small beam offset at the fast beam-scanning mirror introduces a causal phas ...

Dual-beam heterodyne Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Rainer Leitgeb, Adrian Bachmann, Roland Michaely

We report on a novel method combining achromatic complex FDOCT signal reconstruction with a common path and dual beam configuration. The complex signal reconstruction allows resolving the complex ambiguity of the Fourier transform and to enhance the achiev ...
