Published purpose

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique for visualizing cell layers of organs without the need to take samples. Internal organs are reached with fibre optic catheters. Originally developed for telecommunications, these optical fibres can be adapted to the constraints of endoscopic imaging. Here, the aim is to develop fibre optic couplers dedicated to medical imaging. In particular, the team is studying the measurement of the phase to improve the signal to noise ratio of OCT images.
