Toward endoscopes with no distal optics: video-rate scanning microscopy through a fiber bundle

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We report a step toward scanning endomicroscopy without distal optics. The focusing of the beam at the distal end of a fiber bundle is achieved by imposing a parabolic phase profile across the exit face with the aid of a spatial light modulator. We achieve video-rate images by galvanometric scanning of the phase tilt at the proximal end. The approach is made possible by the bundle, designed to have very low coupling between cores.
