工作波长为 1.28 μm 的全固态克尔透镜锁模 Cr:镁橄榄石激光器被证明是一种用于光学相干断层扫描 (OCT) 成像的短相干长度、高平均功率源。我们通过在色散位移单模光纤中使用自相位调制来展宽激光脉冲的光谱，从而实现超高分辨率。实现了分辨率为6μm、动态范围为115dB的OCT成像。 (C) 1996 美国光学学会
An all-solid-state Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr:forsterite laser operating at 1.28 mu m is demonstrated as a short-coherence-length, high-average-power source for optical coherence tomographic (OCT) imaging. We achieve ultrahigh resolution by spectrally broadening the laser pulses, using self-phase modulation in a dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber. OCT imaging with a resolution of 6 mu m and a dynamic range of 115 dB is achieved. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
