    Abstract: Systems and methods for ablation optimization are provided. In some embodiments, a catheter system is provided for determining tissue thickness and includes a catheter including a catheter body with a distal tip, source openings in the distal tip for passing light energy to tissue, and detector openings in the distal tip for passing light energy from tissue. A visualization system includes a light source, a light measuring instrument, and optical fibers extending through the catheter body. The optical fibers include source fibers to pass light energy to the tissue through the source openings and detector fibers to detect light energy from the tissue through the detector openings. The source and detector openings are aligned in a longitudinal arrangement along a length of the distal tip and are paired and spaced apart from one another by a separation distance calculated based on a thickness of the tissue to be measured.
