Chemically Etched Axicon Fiber as a Sensor Probe of Optical Coherence Tomography

Abstract:

In this paper, we investigated a high lateral resolution common-path Fourier domain OCT system with the use of a chemically etched single mode fiber. In our experiments, single mode optical fiber for 840nm was used for preparing the tapered tips. Our system used a conical microlens that was chemically etched by selective chemical etching technique using an etching solution of buffered hydrofluoric acid (BHF). From experimental results, we verified that our proposed optical coherence tomography system could operate as a common-path Fourier domain OCT (FD-OCT) system. Furthermore, we experimentally investigated the chemical etching process of silica-based optical fiber probes by controlling the etching time when applying chemical etching techniques using hydrofluoric acid. We evaluated the beam profile from fiber probe. From these investigations, it was found that etching time was important parameter for sensor probe of optical coherence tomography.
