Abstract:
The present invention relates to a dual focusing optical coherence imaging system. The dual focusing optical coherence imaging system includes: a light source unit for generating broadband light; a main optical distributor for distributing the light generated from the light source to allow the light to be propagated; an interference unit including first and second interference parts for forming interference signals with respect to different focused areas of an object to be detected using the light distributed from the optical distributor, and a common sample arm commonly connected to the first and second interference parts; an optical switch connected to the first and second interference parts to select at least one of the interference signals transmitted from the first and second interference parts; and a detection unit for converting the interference signal selected by the optical switch according to a preset mode into an electrical signal.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an optical coherence tomography, in which a light source and an optical linear beam forming system are adopted to obtain two dimensional image of high quality resolution within short time without affection by any mechanical movements. For such purpose, the optical linear beam forming system (20) comprises semicy Under lens (21), convex lens (22) and slit (23) to implement the frequency domain optical coherence tomography. Parallel light beam from the light source is incident on the surface of the semicylinder lens (21), and focal line of the semicylinder lens (21) is located in front of the convex lens (22). The convex lens (22) has short focal point where the parallel light component converges and long focal point where the diverging light component converges. The slit (23) is located between the short focal point and the long focal point.
