摘要:
A spectroscopic instrument includes a first optical component for spatial spectral splitting of a polychromatic beam of light impinging onto the first optical component, an objective, which routes various spectral regions of the split beam of light onto differing spatial regions, and a sensor, situated downstream of the objective in the beam path of the beam of light, with a plurality of light-sensitive sensor elements. The sensor elements are arranged in the beam path of the split beam of light in such a manner that each sensor element registers the intensity of a spectral sector of the beam of light and the medians of the spectral sectors are situated equidistant from one another in the k-space, where k denotes the wavenumber.

A technique for optical coherence tomography is provided. As to a device aspect of the technique, an imaging device comprises a base defining a rotation axis, a scanning and focusing assembly mounted to the base for rotation about the rotation axis, and a drive unit for rotationally driving the scanning and focusing assembly about the rotation axis. The scanning and focusing assembly includes a focusing device for focusing a beam of imaging radiation to produce a focused beam of imaging radiation having a focus, a scanning member for scanning the beam of imaging radiation, and a controller coupled to the drive unit and the scanning member and configured to control the scanning member to cause movement of the focus along a predetermined trajectory with respect to the scanning and focusing assembly.
摘要:
In a process for optical coherence tomography a plurality of first OCT slice images, in each first slice image representing a different slice of an object, are recorded. Subsequently a reference figure that is representative of the three-dimensional contour of at least one structural feature of the object in a given three-dimensional coordinate system is ascertained by feature recognition of the at least one structural feature in the first slice images. Then a plurality of second OCT slice images, each second slice image representing a different slice of the object, are recorded. At least a fraction of the second slice images are displaced in the coordinate system until each second slice image is in feature overlap with the reference figure. Lastly, a set of three-dimensional OCT image data is generated at least from the feature-overlapped second slice images.

An apparatus for optical swept-source coherence tomography comprises a spectrally tuneable source for emitting coherent light, and a detector for acquiring the intensity of remitted light backscattered from an object irradiated with the coherent light of the source. Further, the apparatus comprises a control device, which is set up to control the light source and the detector in such a way that the detector performs intensity acquisitions in accordance with a defined number of measurements, while the light source is tuned, the control device further being set up, for the purpose of altering the measurement depth or/and the axial resolution of the tomography, to alter the defined number of measurements or/and a spectral measurement bandwidth, within which the detector performs the intensity acquisitions.
摘要:
The invention relates to an arrangement for interferometry, including a light source for generating coherent radiation, a detector and a beam splitter for dividing the radiation generated by the light source. The radiation is divided into a sample arm in which a sample to be examined can be positioned and a reference arm. An optical reference element, which is partially transparent to the radiation, reflects a part of the radiation to the detector and behind which the sample to be examined can be positioned is disposed in the beam path of the sample arm.
