Fiber Optic Sample Arm for Raman Spectroscopy (RS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Probe

Background

Design Criteria

RS and OCT can be combined to more effectively detect epithelial cancers. RS and OCT are complimentary.

OCT is able to produce real-time images with micron scale structural resolution RS is able to give biochemical specificity.

The current RS-OCT sample arm measures 5”x8”x3”.

Problem Statement The bulkiness of the sample arm limits sampling to large portions of the skin, thus inhibiting sampling at both hard to reach areas on the skin and in vivo tissues. Facilitate the use of the sample arm of the current RS- OCT probe by miniaturizing the sample arm. Create a working fiber optic sample arm bench top design using multi-mode fibers and single-mode fibers. Allow spatial co-registration of RS-OCT so that the design configuration will not comprise the collection efficiency of either RS or OCT.

Decrease size of probe to < 1 cm in diameter Reach a scan rate OCT > 4 frames per second Reach an axial scan range of at least 2.4 mm depth Spot size for OCT should be < 27 μm over imaging range Reach a transverse scan range of at least 5 mm RS collection efficiency of <10 seconds

OCT Methods:1. Scanning capabilities of various piezoelectric actuators were tested.2. Measured optical length of existing sampling arm and calculated the

length of the overall air space from fiber tip to image plane in order to determine the ideal length of the new sample arm.

3. Calculated the scan shape based on the position of the pivot point

4. GRIN lens was positioned and single mode fiber was cut to match the existing sample arm.

5. Configured bench top design with easily adjustable mounts.6. The 1-D reflectance profile was measured using a plane mirror.RS Methods:4. Raman illumination and collection fibers were integrated into the GRIN

lens lumen.Combined RS & OCT Methods:5. The collection efficiency of the fibers was measured using phantom

sample.6. Images were compared to original sample arm images.

Figure 4: This shows the scanning ability of the fiber-optic piezoelectric OCT bench top design. The left image shows the beam spot size with no scanning, and the right image shows the spot size during piezoelectric scanning. The piezoelectric has a resonance frequency of 110 Hz.

Figure 3: The fiber optic probe has a white fiber running along a piezoelectric actuator.  Both components protrude from a green housing connected to a stage to allow precise 3D placement of the fiber with respect to the GRIN lens.

Figure 7: The scan geometry used to calculate the scan shape. Transverse scan range was 2.31 mm.

Discussion A fiber optic RS-OCT probe is feasible using piezoelectric actuators to provide the scanning motion of the OCT. We demonstrated that a scanning beam > 4 frames per second could be created while keeping the size of the probe less than 1 cm in diameter. The small footprint of the OCT portion of the probe allows raman fibers to be closely integrated into the design. This close integration allows the spatial co-registration of RS and OCT to be accurate.
