  • In this study, the use of a continuous-wave (CW) supercontinuum (SC) seeded by an erbium-doped fiber's amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) for optical-coherence tomography imaging is experimentally demonstrated. It was shown, by taking an in-depth image of a human tooth sample, that due to the smooth, flat spectrum and long-term stability of the proposed CW SC, it can be readily applied to the spectral-domain optical-coherence tomography system. The relative-intensity noise level and spectral bandwidth of the CW SC are also experimentally analyzed as a function of the ASE beam power.

  • 본 논문에서는 생체 내부를 비침습적으로 영상화하기 위한 방법으로 생체내에서의 빛의 전파가 흡수보다는 산란이 지배적으로 작용하는 근적외선(NIR, near-infrared) 영역의 레이저 광원 및 광 검출기를 이용하여 주파수영역(frequency-domain) 확산 광 단층촬영(DOT, diffuse optical tomography) 시스템을 구현하였으며, 생체조직을 모사한 액체 팬텀에 광학적 특성이 다른 이형성분(anomaly)을 삽입하여 실험적으로 흡수 및 산란 분포에 대한 영상을 복원함으로써 이형성분의 위치와 형태에 대한 정보를 획득하였다.

  • Optical tomography was used to measure the pattern of spray cross-section. The maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) algorithm was used to reconstruct the spray cross-section from the measured transmission rate of the spray. A swirl-type injector was used to form an optically dense spray, and the test was carried out in a high-pressure chamber, to control the pressure condition of the test site. Before the experiment, the reliability of the MLE-based reconstruction algorithm was verified, by comparing it with a conventional filtered back projection reconstruction (FBP) method. The MLE algorithm showed superior reconstruction of the image. In the spray patternation experiment, the results of the optical tomography and optical line patternator, which uses Mie scattering signal information, were compared. While measuring the cross-section of optically dense spray, the intensity of the scattering signal had attenuated to an uncorrectable level, which led to incorrect spray pattern measurement by the optical line patternator. However, reliable results were obtained by optical tomography, under the same condition. Finally, the pattern of the optically dense spray was measured at various chamber pressures, of up to 3 MPa. As the chamber pressure increased, the hollow cone-shaped swirl spray shrank, and the attenuation coefficient value of the inner region increased.

  • 광간섭 단층촬영(OCT)용으로 원통형 압전소자(PZT)와 단일모드 광섬유를 이용한 광경로 지연기를 제작하여 정현파로 구동하고 특성을 분석하였다. 제작한 OCT 시스템은 검침단과 기준단을 대칭 구동하는 이중 광경로 지연방식을 사용하였다. 정현파 구동을 통한 PZT 광경로 지연 방식은 삼각파 구동과 비교하여 입력파형의 첨두 부분에서의 비선형현상을 제거하여 높은 반복성을 나타냄을 보였고, 삼각파 구동으로는 불가능했던 부분을 영상화 할 수 있었다.

  • We report the development of full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in the wavelength range of 815-870 nm using a unique combination of super-luminescent diode (SLD) as broad-band light source and acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) as a frequency-scanning device. Some new applications of full-field SS-OCT in forensic sciences and engineering materials have been demonstrated. Results of simultaneous topography and tomography of latent fingerprints, silicon microelectronic circuits and composite materials are presented. The main advantages of the present system are completely non-mechanical scanning, wide-field, compact and low-cost.

  • Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a relatively new medical imaging modality which uses near infrared light to image large-sized tissues noninvasively. We constructed a frequency-domain DOT system to measure the optical properties of optical phantoms and human tissues. The FD-DOT uses the intensity-modulated infrared light source that illuminates the biological tissues. The phase shift and modulation changes at each detector site are separately processed to measure the optical properties. The absorption and scattering coefficients are separately estimated using inverse algorithms.
