Abstract

Frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) allows interferometer topologies with simplified system construction and handling. Problems of dispersion and polarization matching between the sample and reference arms, as well as beamsplitter spectral non-uniformity, are mitigated when the interferometer is wholly contained in the endoscope tip. A common path set-up, using a reference reflection originating from the inside surface of the glass envelope at the distal end of the endoscope, and an alternative approach with more efficient collection of the reference light using a novel beamsplitter design have been developed. High-speed (20,000 A-lines/s) ultrahigh axial resolution (2.4 μm) tomograms of mouse colon have been acquired using a 2 mm outer diameter endoscope in vivo. The FD-OCT system uses a compact mode-locked Ti:Al2O3 laser emitting a broad spectrum (160 nm full-width-half-maximum) centered at 800 nm in combination with a CCD based, spectrally sensitive detector.

Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. Experimental setup utilizing common path interferometer topology. Spatially encoded FD-OCT is achieved using a broad bandwidth Ti:Al2O3 laser and a diffraction grating based spectrometer yielding 2.9 μm axial resolution at 20,000 A-lines/s. The reference reflection originates at the inside surface (REF) of the endoscope window, and is separated by the window thickness (100 μm) from the tissue.

Fig. 2. The distally integrated micro beamsplitter allows improved backreflection and re-coupling from the reference arm. The combined beam path is shown in solid red while sample and reference paths are indicated by dashed lines. The beam splitter (BS) and reference mirror (RM) are indicated.

Fig. 3.
Fig. 3. Theoretical sensitivity and dynamic range vs. beamsplitter transmission ratio in the Michelson arrangement. The lower line (green) indicates the sample reflectance that yields a signal to noise ratio of unity (max sensitivity = -100 dB), while the upper line (blue) indicates the largest sample reflectance that will not saturate the detector. The difference between the two lines is the dynamic range (68 dB) indicated by the arrow at the chosen beamsplitter ratio (0.1). The detector is saturated for beamsplitter transmission greater than 0.26.

Image features include: stratum corneum (SC), stratum granulosum (SG), stratum spinosum (SS), sweat duct (SD), the outer surface of endoscope window (O), and a faint double image (DBL) of stratum corneum using endoscope window outer surface as a reference. Inset graph shows axial point spread function detail.

Fig. 5. Endoscopic UHR-OCT (reflectivity) tomogram (above) versus stained histologic (absorptive) crossection (lower right) of in vivo mouse colon with distally integrated beamplitter enables visualization of colonic mucosa (CM), muscular mucosa (MM), submucosa (SM), muscularis externa (ME), and serosa(S) layers. Contrast enhanced portion, using local histogram equalization (lower left) shows a surface layer of apical crypt cells (AC) as well as vertical structures in the mucosa that may correspond to crypt boundaries (C). Corresponding structures are marked in the age and strain matched histology image. Inset graph shows axial point spread function detail.
