Projects
Endoscopic optical coherence tomography
Project description
We develop advanced MEMS probes for endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) to obtain high quality 3D imaging of biological tissues.
Goals:
* Develop a MEMS probe capable of 3D positioning of the focus (lateral and axial scan)
* Optimize the probe: micro-mechanics, optics, biology
* Application of the MEMS-probe in an OCT imaging setup
* In-vivo measurements in clinical environment
Approach:
* Develop electrostatically actuated scanning micro-mirrors (2D-lateral scan)
* Develop tunable micro-lenses (axial scan into tissues)
* Microsystems and assembly technologies to realize the probe
* Build an en-face OCT configuration and synchronize its functionality to the probe.
