摘要
基于超宽带光源频谱域相干层析术,提出一种适用于实际系统的多普勒频移标定方法。该方法先用光路模块整体运动替代传统的平面镜运动,使标定方法适用于实际情况,然后在运动中采集一系列随时间变化的光谱,最后通过傅里叶变换分析光谱分布范围。结果表明,相比于传统标定方法,所提标定方法拥有更高的精度,系统轴向分辨率提高了0.34μm,在实际生物组织成像中有更好的成像效果。
Based on spectral domain optical coherence tomography with ultra-wideband light source,one Doppler shift calibration method suitable for a practical system is proposed,in which the mirror motion in the traditional method is replaced by a moving optical-path module,thereby enabling its applications in actual situations.After acquiring a series of time-varying spectra in motion,the proposed method is used to analyze the spectral distribution range via Fourier transform.Compared with the traditional calibration method,the proposed method is more precise and the axial resolution of the system is improved by 0.34μm.Thus,this method improves the imaging effect in actual biological tissue imaging.
