Abstract

This paper reports preliminary results from the development and application of a two-dimensional MEMS endoscopic scanner for OCT imaging. A 1 mm diameter mirror provides high aperture over large scan angle and can scan at rates of hundreds of Hz in both axes. The mirror is integrated with focusing optics and a fiber-optic collimator into a package of ~5 mm diameter. Using a broadband femtosecond laser light source, ultrahigh axial image resolution of < 5 um in tissue is achieved at 1.06 um center wavelength. Ultrahigh resolution cross-sectional and three-dimensional OCT imaging is demonstrated with the endoscope with ~12 um transverse resolution and < 5 um axial resolution.
