Spectral domain optical coherence tomography with sub-micrometer sensitivity for measurement of central corneal thickness

We demonstrated a method for measurement of central corneal thickness(CCT) with a sub-micrometer sensitivity using a spectral domain optical coherence tomography system without needing a super broad bandwidth light source. By combining the frequency and phase components of Fourier transform, the method is capable of measurement of a large dynamic range with a high sensitivity. Absolute phases are retrieved by comparing the correlations between the detected and simulated interference fringes. The phase unwrapping ability of the present method was quantitatively tested by measuring the displacement of a piezo linear stage. The human CCTs of six volunteers were measured to verify its clinical application. It provides a potential tool for clinical diagnosis and research applications in ophthalmology.     

Measurement of ocular axial length using full-range spectral-domain low-coherence interferometry

We demonstrate a system for measuring the ocular axial length(AL) with high sensitivity and high speed using spectral-domain low-coherence interferometry(SD-LCI). To address the limit in measuring such a large range by using SD-LCI, we propose a full-range method to recognize the positive and negative depths. The reference arm length is changed synchronously with the shift of the focal point of the probing beam. The system provides a composite depth range that is sufficient to cover the whole eye. We demonstrate the performance of the presented system by measuring the ALs of five volunteers. This system can provide the A-scan ocular biometric assessment of the corneal thickness and AL in 0.1 s.     

基于谱域相位分辨光学相干层析的纳米级表面形貌成像

提出了一种基于谱域相位分辨光学相干层析的纳米级表面形貌成像方法,由干涉光谱计算样品相邻两点的相位差,得到样品表面相位差分图,经过积分,重建样品表面形貌的定量分布.当相邻两点相位差的绝对值小于π,不产生相位包裹,避免了目前的干涉法相位解包裹存在的问题,将干涉法相邻两点相位差绝对值的限制条件由目前的π扩大到2π,提高了干涉法表面形貌成像的适用范围.参考面和样品置于同一平台之上,消除环境干扰及系统振动的影响,噪声幅度小于0.3 nm.通过对光学分辨率片及表面粗糙度标准样板的表面形貌成像,对本方法进行了验证,系统的轴向分辨率优于1 nm.     

Arbitrary Three-Phase Shifting Algorithm for Achieving Full Range Spectral Optical Coherence Tomography

An arbitrary three-phase shifting algorithm is introduced in order to achieve full range spectral optical coherence tomography imaging of biological tissue. Theoretical treatment behind this approach is given and experimentally verified. It is shown that this method is capable of eliminating the undesired auto-correlation and complex conjugate images, leading to the un-obscured full range spectral OCT imaging. An intact porcine eye is used to demonstrate the potential of such a method for biological imaging.     

Spectral Optical Coherence Tomography Using Two-Phase Shifting Method

A two-phase shifting method is introduced to eliminate the strong autocorrelation noise inherent in spectral optical coherence tomography and to mitigate the unwanted auto- and cross-coherent terms introduced by the reflections from various optical interfaces present in the system. Fhrthermore, this method is also able to amplify the desired signal by a factor of 2. The feasibility of such a method is demonstrated using a mirror-like object. An intact porcine cornea tissue in vitro is also used to show the potential of this method for biological imaging.     

基于XGBoost的糖尿病血液拉曼光谱定量分析法

血液中包含着大量的生物信息,如激素、酶、血糖等成分,而血糖偏高将引发糖尿病。糖尿病有很多并发症,比如脑梗塞,脑出血,肾脏损害,眼底损害,周围神经病变等一系列疾病。目前,血液常规成分检测分析周期较长,结果反馈较慢,难以实现快速连续检测。光学检测技术能够根据待测物质的光谱鉴别物质化学成分和相对含量,因其灵敏度高、适用性强、分析速度快等优势,在血液无创检测领域逐渐发挥其优势。随着激光技术的不断进步,拉曼光谱技术作为一种非线性散射光谱技术,在血液检测技术中得到了广泛应用。为提高拉曼光谱的预测精度,首次将XGBoost算法应用到拉曼光谱血液血糖浓度中进行预测精度的提升。实验中106组血液样本及试验标准值为河北省秦皇岛市第一医院提供,选用布鲁克的MultiRAM光谱仪进行血液的拉曼光谱数据测量,实验中1 064 nm激发光源功率为400 mW,光谱分辨率为6 cm-1,扫描速率为10 kHz,扫描范围为400～4 000 cm-1,对每个样本重复采集10次并计算平均值作为原始光谱数据,以保证实验的准确性和可重复性。该方法无需对数据进行预处理,首先将光谱数据随机划分为训练集和测试集,比例为7∶3,训练集用于训练模型并确定模型参数,测试集用于测试模型的稳定性和预测精度。建立XGBoost模型后,用网格搜索法和k折交叉验证优化模型参数;引入模型评估指标和克拉克网格误差分析图对XGBoost模型血糖浓度的预测进行分析;最后将XGBoost模型与决策树(DT)、随机森林(RF)和支持向量机回归(SVR)模型进行对比。实验结果表明通过XGBoost建立的定量回归模型效果最佳,模型的决定系数为0.999 99,校正集均方误差为0.007 49,预测集均方误差为0.007 17,相对分析误差为331.973 18,预测点均落在克拉克网格误差分析图的A区。结果证明,将XGBoost算法应用到拉曼光谱血液成分定量分析中具有较高的预测精度,并且数据未经过预处理,可以有效缩短程序运行时间,其在拉曼光谱以及近红外光谱定量分析领域具有广阔的发展前景。
