    摘要: A first light beam and a second light beam having discrete wavelength bands are emitted form a light source unit, and enter a light divider. The light divider separates each light beam into a measuring light beam and a reference light beam. The measuring light beams are irradiated on a measurement target, and reflected light beams, which are reflected at various depth positions of the measurement target, are caused to enter a combiner. The reference light beams propagate through optical fibers to enter the combiner. Interference light beams formed by the reflected light beams and the reference light beams for each of the first and second light beams are photoelectrically converted into interference signals. A tomographic image is obtained employing the interference signals for each of the first and second light beams.

    摘要: To provide a superluminescent diode capable of emitting high output super luminescent light having a central wavelength within a range of 0.95 μm to 1.2 μm and an undistorted beam cross section, having a long element life. The super luminescent diode is constituted by: an n-type GaAs substrate; an optical waveguide path constituted by an InGaAs active layer that emits light having a central wavelength within a range of 0.95 μm to 1.2 μm, formed on the GaAs substrate; and a window region layer having a greater energy gap and a smaller refractive index than the active layer, constituted by p-type GaAs that lattice matches with the GaAs substrate, provided at a rear emitting facet of the optical waveguide path. The p-type GaAs window region layer has a favorable crystal membrane with the InGaAs active layer that emits light having the central wavelength within the range of 0.95 μm to 1.2 μm, which does not deteriorate.

    摘要: Low coherence light having a central wavelength λc of 1.1 μm and a full width at half maximum spectrum Δλ of 90 nm is emitted. The low coherence light has wavelength properties suited for the light absorbing properties, the diffusion properties, and the dispersion properties of living tissue. A light dividing means divides the low coherence light into a measuring light beam, which is irradiated onto a measurement target via an optical probe, and a reference light beam that propagates toward an optical path length adjusting means. A multiplexing means multiplexes a reflected light beam, which is the measuring light beam reflected at a predetermined depth of the measurement target, and the reference light beam, to form coherent light. A coherent light detecting means detects the optical intensity of the multiplexed coherent light. An image obtaining means performs image processes, and displays an optical tomographic image on a display apparatus.
