摘要
A pneumatically-actuated micro-lens integrated in the sample arm of a time-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system is presented. A 50 gm thick polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane is spun onto the front side of the lens. Deep-reactive ion-etching (DRIE) is applied to create the aperture of the lens. Dynamically shifting the focal length for each A-scan step enhances the axial scan length and the contrast of the backscattered interference signal of the structures beneath the surface. The successful integration of the micro-lens with an OCT system allows its use in endoscopic in-vivo applications.
