20130027942 | RING LIGHT SOURCE SYSTEM FOR INTERFEROMETER WITH ADJUSTABLE RING RADIUS AND RING RADIAL WIDTH - A ring light source system for an interferometer with adjustable ring radius and ring radial width may comprise a laser light source, an expander and collimator optical system, an adjustable aperture, a binary phase grating, a variable-focus optical system, and a spatial filter. The expander and collimator optical system is configured to convert a light beam from the light source into a parallel light beam. The adjustable aperture is configured to adjust a diameter of the parallel light beam. The light beam with the diameter adjusted by the adjustable aperture is incident perpendicularly onto the binary phase grating, followed by the variable-focus optical system. The filter is positioned on a back focal plane of the variable-focus optical system, and is configured to receive a ring light source. The ring radius and radial width of the light source are adjustable by adjusting a focus length f1 of the variable-focus optical system. | 01-31-2013 |
20120154815 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING REFLECTANCE OF OPTICAL LASER COMPONENTS - Apparatus and methods for measuring reflectance of optical laser components are disclosed. In one embodiment, when the reflectance of the test optical laser component is higher than 98%, a cavity ring-down (CRD) technique based configuration is employed to measure the reflectance of the test optical laser component. On the other hand, when the reflectance of the test optical laser component is lower than 98% or there is no measurable CRD signal, by removing the output cavity mirror in the CRD apparatus, a photometric configuration is formed to measure the reflectance. The switching between the two techniques can be achieved by removing or inserting the output cavity mirror of the ring-down cavity in the CRD apparatus. | 06-21-2012 |
20100054626 | METHOD OF FAST IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION - The present invention provides a method of fast image construction. The wavelength information is extracted in advance based on characteristics of a Fourier domain Optical Coherent Tomography (OCT) system, to obtain a vector of wavelengths which are in a uniform distribution in a wave number space, and thus to obtain a virtual position coefficient of this wavelength vector at a CCD, from which a weight matrix is calculated based on a transfer function for a discrete Fourier transform with zero-padding interpolation. In operation of the system, the interpolation is carried out based on the weight matrix and collected data, or is carried out based on the weight matrix which has been truncated by being subject to windowing and the collected data, to obtain interpolated data satisfying requirements. The method according to the present invention is simple and easy to implement, by which, it is possible to improve the precision and speed of the Fourier domain OCT data process, and thus to improve the capacity of real-time image reconstruction of the Fourier domain OCT system. | 03-04-2010 |
