Mirau-based full-field time-domain optical coherence tomography using Ce3+:YAG crystal fiber light source

Based on single-objective construction utilizing high brightness Ce3+:YAG single-clad crystal fiber light source, this Mirau-based full-field time-domain optical coherence tomography with circular polarization incident light represents deeper penetration in scattering medium. Using objective-changeable ability of home-designed Mirau objective, this system provides different applications, like biological tissue and single cells, by different spatial resolution with corresponding dynamics. High quality image relying on less ghost image and near common-path interference was demonstrated under this compact and power-stable system.
