Spectrally encoded confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy
Abstract
We present in vivo human fundus imaging using a fiber-based confocal scanning laser
ophthalmoscope (SLO). Spectrally encoded confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SECSLO)
utilizes a spectral encoding technique in one dimension, combined with single-axis
lateral scanning, to create video-rate reflectivity maps of the fundus. This implementation
of the SLO allows for high-contrast high-resolution in vivo human retinal imaging
through a single-mode optical fiber. We experimentally quantify the full confocality
of SECSLO in both the spectrally encoded and laterally scanned dimensions, and demonstrate
50 Hz frame rate fundus imaging. © 2010 Optical Society of America.

My research centers on the development and application of cutting-edge optical technologies
for non-invasive, high-resolution imaging and sensing in living biological tissues.
Our laboratory is recognized for foundational contributions to optical coherence-based
approaches for in vivo sub-surface microscopic tissue imaging, particularly optical
coherence tomography (OCT) which has become a standard of care in ophthalmology and
other clinical specialties. The technologies we employ includ
