Systems and methods for providing beam scan patterns for high speed doppler optical frequency domain imaging

摘要

An exemplary apparatus and/or an exemplary method can be provided using which, it is possible (e.g., with at least one first arrangement) to measure an amplitude and/or a phase of at least one electromagnetic radiation provided from a particular portion of a sample. Further, it is possible (e.g., using at least one second arrangement) to scan a location of the particular portion along a path from a first point of the sample to a second point of the sample. In addition, it is possible to control the scan (e.g., with the second arrangement) such that the scan may comprise at least one first segment having a positive velocity and at least one segment having a negative velocity. A first distance of the first segment and/or the second segment can be smaller than a second distance between the first and second points.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one digitizer first arrangement configured to measure at least one of an amplitude or a phase of at least one electromagnetic radiation provided from a particular portion of a sample; and at least one scanner second arrangement configured to perform a scan of a location of the particular portion along a path from a first point of the sample to a second point of the sample, wherein the at least one second arrangement controls the scan such that the scan along the path comprises at least one segment in which a first portion of the scan is provided in a first direction and in which a second portion of the scan is returned in a second direction, wherein the scan of the at least one segment is repeated along exactly the same path, and wherein a first length along the path of the at least one segment is smaller than a second length along the path between the first and second points.
