20150011983 | Speckle Interferometric Method and System for Detecting a Movement of a Surface - A method and a system for detecting a movement of a surface on an irradiated sample involves a light source for irradiating the surface with a coherent light beam, a detector for detecting variations caused by the movement in a speckle pattern produced by reflections of the light beam at the surface, selecting a single speckle from the speckle pattern, and detecting the variations at the selected speckle. | 01-08-2015 |
20130102894 | Device With an OCT System for Examining and Treating Living Tissue by Means of Heating of the Tissue by Absorbing Electromagnetic Radiation - A device for examining or treating living tissue by means of local heating of the tissue by absorbing electromagnetic radiation, with at least one radiation source emitting electromagnetic radiation, a control unit for controlling the irradiation parameters of the radiation source, and at least one FD-OCT apparatus with a light source emitting a measurement light for illuminating that tissue region in which the electromagnetic radiation is absorbed by the tissue, characterized by a computational unit for carrying out the following steps: determining the depth-resolved tissue velocity in the radiation direction of the measurement light at a predetermined measurement point of the tissue from the phase information from the FD-OCT interference light, integrating the established tissue velocity over time, differentiating the calculated time integral with respect to space, and displaying the spatial derivative as a function of space and time and/or feeding the spatial derivative as a function of space and time to an evaluation module and/or feeding the spatial derivative as a function of space and time to the control unit. | 04-25-2013 |
20100292539 | Forward Scanning OCT Endoscope - An apparatus for optical coherence tomography has a broadband light source with a short coherence length, an optical fiber that guides the light from the light source to a focusing optics, and a graded-index optics arranged between the optical fiber and the focusing optics with two opposite parallel flat sides, that is contacted on its first flat side by the optical fiber forming an irradiation point guiding light to the graded-index optics and having a pitch of N/8, N being a natural number that cannot be divided by 4. A first structure for light reflection is arranged on the first flat side of the graded-index optics adjacent to the irradiation point, and a second structure for beam splitting is arranged on the second flat side of the graded-index optics. The focusing optics are designed for focusing the light transmitted by the second structure essentially at right angles to the flat sides of the graded-index optics. | 11-18-2010 |
