Collagenous Fibers

In this work, we report a method of removing scattering induced retardance in polarization sensitive full field optical coherence tomography (PS-FFOCT). First, the Mueller matrix that describes its operation is derived. The thickness invariant retardance induced by the scattering of collagenous fiber bundles is then used to find the accurate values of the birefringence of the layers that consist collagenous fibers. Finally, the initial en face birefringent images of in vitro beef tendon samples are presented to demonstrate the capability of our method.

Optical Coherence Imaging (OCI) including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Optical Coherence Microscopy (OCM) uses interferometric detection to generate high-resolution volumetric images of the sample at high speeds. Such capabilities are significant for in vivo imaging, including ophthalmology, brain, intravascular imaging, as well as endoscopic examination. Instrumentation and software development allowed to create many clinical instruments. Nevertheless, most of OCI setups scan the incident light laterally. Hence, OCI can be further extended by wide-field illumination and detection. This approach, however, is very susceptible to the so-called crosstalk-generated noise. Here, we describe our novel approach to overcome this issue with spatio-temporal optical coherence manipulation (STOC), which employs spatial phase modulation of the incident light.

An integrating-bucket method is widely used as a reconstruction tool for full-field optical coherence tomography (FF-OCT). However, it requires high-precision adjustments of the phase modulation parameters. If the parameters are not optimal, the reconstructed tomogram will incur severe artifacts. We propose a post-processing method for removing or reducing such artifacts by utilizing a correction factor extracted from a pre-reconstructed tomogram. FF-OCT imaging created using a coin verifies the effectiveness of the method not only for a single en face image but also for an entire 3-D image. It is expected that the proposed method will expand the application of FF-OCT from biomedical imaging to semiconductor wafers or display panel inspections.

We propose a model of the full-field optical coherence tomography (FFOCT) technique for tissue imaging, in which the fractal model of the spatial correlation function of the refractive index of tissue is employed to approximate tissue structure. The results may be helpful for correctly interpreting en face tomographic images obtained with FFOCT.
