TI  - Endoscope-tip interferometer for ultrahigh resolution frequency domain optical 
      coherence tomography in mouse colon.
PG  - 1878-87
AB  - Frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) allows interferometer 
      topologies with simplified system construction and handling. Problems of 
      dispersion and polarization matching between the sample and reference arms, as 
      well as beamsplitter spectral non-uniformity, are mitigated when the 
      interferometer is wholly contained in the endoscope tip. A common path set-up, 
      using a reference reflection originating from the inside surface of the glass 
      envelope at the distal end of the endoscope, and an alternative approach with 
      more efficient collection of the reference light using a novel beamsplitter 
      design have been developed. High speed (20,000 A-lines/s) ultrahigh axial 
      resolution (2.4 mum) tomograms of mouse colon have been acquired using a 2 mm 
      outer diameter endoscope in vivo. The FD-OCT system uses a compact mode-locked 
      Ti:Al(2)O(3) laser emitting a broad spectrum (160 nm full-width-half-maximum) 
      centered at 800 nm in combination with a CCD based, spectrally sensitive 
      detector.
