Abstract: The present invention is an alternative Fourier domain optical coherence tomography system (FD-OCT) and its associated method. The system comprises a swept multi -wave length laser, an optical interferometer and a multi-channel receiver. By employing a multi-wavelength laser, the sweeping range for each lasing wavelength is substantially reduced as compared to a pure swept single wavelength laser that needs to cover the same overall spectral range. The overall spectral interferogram is divided over the individual channels of the multi-channel receiver and can be re-constructed through processing of the data from each channel detector. In addition to a substantial increase in the speed of each axial scan, the cost of invented FD- OCT system can also be substantially less than that of a pure swept source OCT or a pure spectral domain OCT system.

Abstract: A miniaturized spectrometer is adapted for placement within a body near tissue to be characterized. The spectrometer includes a light source (3) and a plurality of light detectors (61). The light source generates light to illuminate the tissue. The detectors detect optical signals from the illuminated tissue and convert these optical signals to electrical signals. The miniaturized spectrometer can be disposed at the distal end of an interventional device (4). Optical conduits, such as fiber optic cables or strands, extending the length of the interventional device are not required when the miniature spectrometer is employed.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an LED spectrometer operating without moving parts, according to the sweep principle, and appropriate to serve as a structural component in many kinds of spectroscopic concentration analysers. The design of the invention affords the advantage that, even at its minimum, the optical power of the LED spectrometer of the invention is about fivefold compared with designs of prior art. Furthermore, improvement of the efficiency of the LED radiation source and of that of the optics has brought a multiple augmentation in power to the wavelength spectrum sent out by the radiation source. In the design of the invention, concentrators (6) of non-imaging type are used to collimate the wavelength spectrum emitted by the LEDs (3).
