Abstract: An optical interferometer includes a beam splitter module and an optical sensor. The beam splitter module includes a lens assembly and a splitter cube. A light incident surface of the splitter cube is substantially orthogonal to an optical axis of the lens assembly. An acute angle is between the light incident surface and a light splitting surface of the splitter cube. A sampling surface of the splitter cube is substantially parallel to the light incident surface. A light reflecting surface of the splitter cube is substantially orthogonal to the light incident surface. The light incident surface is closer to the lens assembly than the sampling surface. A reference arm is defined between a splitter position on the light splitting surface and the light reflecting surface, a sample arm is defined between the splitter position and the sampling surface, and the reference arm is longer than the sample arm.

Abstract: An optical fiber scanning probe includes a rotor and at least one optical fiber. The rotor includes a torque rope rotatable about its central axis. The optical fiber is disposed on the rotor and eccentric relative to the torque rope. A central axis of the optical fiber is substantially parallel to the central axis of the torque rope. When the torque rope rotates about its central axis, the rotor brings a free end of the optical fiber to scan along an arc path.

Abstract: An OCT common-path probe for identifying a sample includes an optical fiber, a first GRIN lens and a second GRIN lens. The optical fiber outputs a light beam from its end facet. The first GRIN lens is cemented to the second GRIN lens, and located between the optical fiber and the second GRIN lens. A joint surface between the first GRIN lens and the second GRIN lens reflects a part of the light beam to form a reference beam, and allows another part of the light beam to pass through to form a sample beam. The reference beam is focused on the end facet by the first GRIN lens. The sample beam is focused on the sample by the second GRIN lens, reflected by the sample to travel through the second GRIN lens, the joint surface and the first GRIN lens sequentially, and thereby focused on the end facet.

Abstract: A common path interferometric probe for identifying a sample includes an optical fiber, a light guide component, a GRIN lens component and a beamsplitter surface. The optical fiber outputs a light beam. The optical fiber, the light guide component and the GRIN lens component are sequentially connected. The reflection surface is disposed on the light guide component and the beamsplitter surface disposed in the GRIN lens component. When the light beam output from the optical fiber travels through the light guide component and reaches the beamsplitter surface, a part of the light beam is reflected by the beamsplitter surface to form a reference beam, and another part of the light beam passes through the beamsplitter surface to form a sample beam. The reference beam travels back to the optical fiber by undergoing reflections at the reflection surface and beamsplitter surface. The sample beam reaches the sample after traveling through the GRIN lens component, and is reflected by the sample to travel back to the optical fiber.
