It features a bidirectional sweep repetition rate of 828 kHz and a spectral bandwidth of 40 nm. An axial resolution of ∼9.9 µm in water and a 1.4 cm sensitivity roll-off are achieved. Utilizing a complex master-slave (CMS) recalibration method and due to a sufficiently high sensitivity of 84.6 dB, retinal layers of the human eye in-vivo can be resolved during optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination. The developed FDML laser enables acquisition rates of 3D-volumes with a size of 200 × 100 × 256 voxels in under 100 milliseconds. Detailed information on the FDML implementation, its challenging design tasks, and OCT images obtained with the laser are presented in this paper.}, } |

The 1300 nm and 900 nm regions are of especially high interest for time-encoded (TICO) stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and spectro-temporal laser imaging by diffracted excitation (SLIDE) two-photon microscopy. We present a new, to the best of our knowledge, FWM setup where we shift the power of a home-built fully fiber-based master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) at 1064 nm to the 1300-nm region of a rapidly wavelength-sweeping Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) creating pulses in the 900-nm region. The resulting 900-nm light can be wavelength swept over 54 nm and has up to 2.5 kW (0.2 {\textmu}J) peak power and a narrow instantaneous spectral linewidth of 70 pm. The arbitrary pulse patterns of the MOPA and the fast wavelength tuning of the FDML laser (419 kHz) allow it to rapidly tune the FWM light enabling new and faster TICO-Raman microscopy, SLIDE imaging, and other applications.}, } |

High-speed imaging always suffers from non-uniform rotational distortion (NURD) due to asynchronous motor rotation with the OCT system. Several research groups have previously attempted to solve this problem, using either an expensive motor with a sensor or numerical correction after data acquisition. However, both techniques pose challenges for practical use. Therefore, in this study, we use an inexpensive sensorless brushless DC motor with a Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) laser-based MHz OCT system and try to resolve the problem of synchronization using three different modalities, (i) Slave-mode: The FDML frequency serves as a master frequency for the motor, which is phase-locked to the FDML frequency, (ii) Master-mode: The revolution trigger obtained from the motor’s back electromotive force (BEMF) signal serves as a trigger signal for the OCT imaging system, (iii) Both: Fully synchronized setup, where the motor rotation is synchronized with the laser and the imaging system is synchronized with the motor to achieve phase-stable OCT imaging. The first case slightly fluctuates in live preview and imaging due to the absence of a revolution trigger, while the second has varying motor speeds. Therefore, we use the third case to phase-lock the motor with FDML and get a distortion-free live preview and image acquisition. Finally, we demonstrate high-speed SS-OCT structural imaging (at 3.3 MHz A-scan rates) of a finger with a 16 mm diameter probe (at 40,000 rpm).}, keywords = {Optical Coherence Tomography, Endoscopy, FDML , Closed Loop Motor Control, NURD compensation, Brushless DC Motor, Back Electromotive Force}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2652955}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2652955} } |

Therefor a collaborative robot is combined with an existing, home-built 3.3 MHz-OCT-system and for surface tracking an online probe-to-surface control is implemented which is solely based on the OCT surface signal.

When also using a non-contact mechanical excitation, it mimics palpation without interobserver variability. One of the most frequently used techniques is phase-sensitive OCE. Depending on the system, depth-resolved changes in the sub-µm to nm range can be detected and visualized volumetrically. Such an approach is used in this work to investigate and detect transitions between healthy and tumorous brain tissue as well as inhomogeneities in the tumor itself to assist the operating surgeon during tumor resection in the future. We present time-resolved, phase-sensitive OCE measurements on various ex vivo brain tumor samples using an ultra-fast 3.2 MHz swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) system with a frame rate of 2.45 kHz. 4 mm line scans are acquired which, in combination with the high imaging speed, allow monitoring and investigation of the sample's behavior in response to the mechanical load. Therefore, an air-jet system applies a 200 ms short air pulse to the sample, whose non-contact property facilitates the possibility for future in vivo measurements. Since we can temporally resolve the response of the sample over the entire acquisition time, the mechanical properties are evaluated at different time points with depth resolution. This is done by unwrapping the phase data and performing subsequent assessment. Systematic ex vivo brain tumor measurements were conducted and visualized as distribution maps. The study outcomes are supported by histological analyses and examined in detail.}, keywords = { Optical Coherence Tomography, Optical Coherence Elastography, Phase-sensitive OCT, Fourier Domain Mode Locking, Brain Tumor, Phase Unwrapping, Tissue Characterization, Biomechanics}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2648301}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2648301} } |

In recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) was successfully used to classify white matter from tumor infiltrated white matter by several research groups. Motivated by these results, a dataset was created, which consisted of sets of corresponding ex vivo OCT images, which were acquired by two OCT-systems with different properties (e.g. wavelength and resolution). Each image was annotated with semantic labels. The labels differentiate between white and gray matter and three different stages of tumor infiltration. The data from both systems not only allowed a comparison of the ability of a system to identify the different tissue types present during the tumor resection, but also enable a multimodal tissue analysis evaluating corresponding OCT images of the two systems simultaneously. A convolutional neural network with dirichlet prior was trained, which allowed to capture the uncertainty of a prediction. The approach increased the sensitivity of identifying tumor infiltration from 58 % to 78 % for data with a low prediction uncertainty compared to a previous monomodal approach. }, keywords = {optical coherence tomography, oct, brain, classification, tumor, dual wavelength, glioblastoma multiforme, tissue analysis}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2649963}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2649963} } |

Thus, it can provide the neurosurgeon with additional intraoperative source of information during resection, next to the visual information by the light microscope, fluorescent dyes and neuronavigation. One approach to obtain elastic and viscoelastic tissue characteristics non-subjectively is phase-sensitive optical coherence elastography (OCE), which is based on the principle of optical coherence tomography (OCT). While phase-sensitive OCE offers significantly higher displacement sensitivity inside a sample than commonly used intensity-based correlation methods, it requires a reliable algorithm to recover the phase signal, which is mathematically restricted in the -π to π range. This problem of phase wrapping is especially critical for inter-frame phase analysis since the time intervals between two referenced voxels is long. Here, we demonstrate a one-dimensional unwrapping algorithm capable of removing up to 4π-ambiguities between two frames in the complex phase data obtained from a 3.2 MHz-OCT system. The high sampling rate allows us to resolve large sample displacements induced by a 200 ms air pulse and acquires pixel-precise detail information. The deformation behavior of the tissue can be monitored over the entire acquisition time, offering various subsequent mechanical analysis procedures. The reliability of the algorithm and imaging concept was initially evaluated using different brain tumor mimicking phantoms. Additionally, results from human ex vivo brain tumor samples are presented and correlated with histological findings supporting the robustness of the algorithm.}, keywords = {Optical Coherence Tomography, Megahertz OCT, Fourier Domain Mode Locking, Optical Coherence Elastography, Phase-sensitive OCT, Phase Unwrapping, Brain tumor, Biomechanics}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.1117/12.2652847}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2652847} } |

Counteracting the timing offset introduced by the fiber is a challenge in many applications especially in mode locked lasers. The dispersion parameters need to be measured with high precision. The length of the fiber, the temperature, and the used wavelength will highly impact the amount of dispersion and the accuracy of the measurement. We developed an ultra-high-accuracy dispersion measurement setup at 1080 ± 50 nm considering all the parameters that may influence the measurement. It is based on a home-built wavelength tunable laser where the output is modulated by an electro-optical modulator connected to a 24 GSamples/s arbitrary waveform generator to a complex pattern consisting of pulses and a 4 GHz sine wave. After passing through the fiber the signal is measured with an 80 GSamples/s real time oscilloscope. The fiber’s temperature is controlled to allow for reproducible measurements over several days and we achieve timing measurement accuracies down to ~200 fs. We also present the performance of the setup at ~850 nm. We will discuss and quantify all effects which can negatively impact the system accuracy and we will report on more cost-effective options using lower performance equipment.}, keywords = {Dispersion measurement, Chromatic dispersion, fiber dispersion measurement, optical component characterization, tunable laser, FDML}, year = {2022}, doi = {10.1117/12.2608773}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2608773} } |

For the axial spectral zoom feature, we switch between high resolution and long imaging range by adjusting the sweep range of our laser. We present a new imaging setup allowing for synchronized adjustments of the imaging range and lateral field of view during live OCT imaging. For this, a novel inline recalibration algorithm was implemented that enables numerical k-linearization of the raw OCT fringes for every frame instead of every volume. This is realized by acquiring recalibration data within the dead time of the raster scan at the turning points of the fast axis scanner. We demonstrate in vivo OCT images of fingers and hands at different resolution modes and show real three-dimensional zooming during live 4D-OCT. A three-dimensional spectral zooming feature for live 4D-OCT is expected to be a useful tool for a wide range of biomedical, scientific and research applications, especially in OCT guided surgery.}, } |
