High-resolution Optical Coherence Tomography Over a Large Depth Range with an Axicon Lens
In optical coherence tomography, axial and lateral resolutions are determined
by the source coherence length
and the numerical aperture of the sampling lens, respectively. Whereas axial
resolution can be improved
by use of a broadband light source, there is a trade-off between lateral
resolution and focusing depth when
conventional optical elements are used. We report on the incorporation of an
axicon lens into the sample
arm of an interferometer to overcome this limitation. Using an axicon lens with
a top angle of 160º, we
maintained 10-µm or better lateral
resolution over a focusing depth of at least 6 mm. In addition to having
high lateral resolution, the focusing spot has an intensity that is
approximately constant over a greater depth
range than when a conventional lens is used.
