Abstract

In this study, a portable and ultrahigh-resolution OCT (UHR-OCT) system is developed, and the axial and transverse resolutions are approximately 2 and 5 m, respectively. Although picosecond lasers are widely used for clinical treatment, it is difficult to predict and observe the treatment outcome. The developed UHR-OCT system is implemented to observe the photodamage induced by the picosecond laser and the laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) can be observed. Furthermore, the recovery process is studied and compared by UHR-OCT. The results indicate that the UHR-OCT system can clearly identify the skin structures, and the induced photodamage can be quantitatively evaluated.
