Background

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an emerging imaging technology in recent ten years, and attracts more and more attention because of its advantages such as high resolution, non-invasive, non-contact measurement, and the like. The method utilizes the basic principle of a weak coherent optical interferometer, and the core components of the method are a broadband light source and a Michelson interferometer. In the signal acquisition process, coherent light from a broadband light source is divided into two parts in a Michelson interferometer, one part is that reference light is reflected by a detector, the other part enters a sample as sample light, and reflected light or scattered light with different sample depths forms interference with the reference light, so that depth information of the sample can be obtained by detecting the interference signal. And controlling the collection point to move on the sample to obtain the three-dimensional information of the sample.

However, the current OCT imaging system must be equipped with one spectrometer and one light source, and when multi-channel scanning imaging is required, multiple spectrometers and multiple light sources are also required. The spectrometer and the light source are used as core devices, so that the price is high, the cost is high in multi-path scanning, and the application of the OCT technology is difficult to popularize in industrial production, particularly in medicine preparation.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

An optical coherence tomography system can be classified into two types due to its structure: time domain OCT (TD-OCT) and frequency domain (SD-OCT). The TD-OCT is the first generation OCT, and the sample spectrum mode is that the depth information of the sample to be detected can be directly obtained by moving the reflector of the reference arm and detecting the light intensity at the same time. And the SD-OCT indirectly detects the interference spectrum of the reflected light and the reference light of the sample to be detected by using a high-speed spectrometer, and obtains the depth information of the sample to be detected through Fourier change.

For a frequency-domain OCT system, the scan depth of the sample to be examined is determined by the wavelength resolution of the spectrometer:

Figure BDA0002350365920000031

wherein Z ismaxIs the scanning depth of the frequency domain OCT system, n is the refractive index of the sample to be detected, λ0Is the central wavelength of the light source, RλIs the wavelength resolution of the spectrometer. Therefore, in the current frequency domain OCT system, if the scanning depth of the frequency domain OCT system needs to be increased, the wavelength resolution of the spectrometer can only be increased, namely R is reducedλThis means that the frequency domain OCT system needs to be replaced with a high resolution spectrometer.

Therefore, on the basis of the principle of the frequency domain OCT system, the OCT imaging system aims to solve the technical problems that the OCT imaging system in the prior art can only replace spectrometers with other resolutions when adjusting the scanning depth, the operation steps are complex, and the replacement cost is high. The application provides a scheme for increasing OCT scanning depth based on a scanning galvanometer.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a high depth scanning imaging system provided in the present application. The high-depth

scanning imaging system

100 of the present embodiment includes at least a

light source unit

11, a reference arm

optical path unit

12, a sample arm

optical path unit

13, a

sample detection stage

14, and a

signal processing unit

15.

The

light source unit

11 generates reference light and sample light, the reference light passes through the reference arm

optical path unit

12 to form reference return light, and the optical path of the reference return light is consistent with that of the reference light and opposite in direction; the sample light is irradiated onto the sample to be detected of the sample detection table 14 through the sample arm

optical path unit

13 to form a sample return light, and the optical path of the sample return light is consistent with the optical path of the sample light and has an opposite direction.

The

signal processing unit

15 detects an interference spectrum generated by interference of the reference return light and the sample return light, and calculates depth information of the sample to be detected based on the interference spectrum.

Wherein the reference arm

optical path unit

12 has a first position a and a second position B, and the optical path of the reference light passing through the reference arm

optical path unit

12 at the second position B is larger than the optical path of the reference arm

optical path unit

12 at the first position a.

Specifically, the scanning depth of the high-depth

scanning imaging system

100 is positively correlated to the optical paths of the reference light and the reference return light, that is, when the scanning depth of the high-depth

scanning imaging system

100 needs to be increased, only the optical paths of the reference light and the reference return light need to be increased, and the high-resolution spectrometer does not need to be replaced. Therefore, the reference arm

optical path unit

12 of this embodiment is at least provided with the first position a and the second position B, and the upper computer can control the reference arm

optical path unit

12 to switch between the first position a and the second position B, so as to change the optical paths of the reference light and the reference return light, and further achieve the effect of adjusting the scanning depth of the high-depth

scanning imaging system

100, and the operation is simple, and no additional cost needs to be added.

Further, according to the requirement of the adjustment precision, the reference arm

optical path unit

12 may be further provided with more positions, so that the optical paths of the reference light and the reference return light are changed more, thereby implementing a wider range and more precise adjustment on the scanning depth of the high-depth

scanning imaging system

100.

Based on the high-depth

scanning imaging system

100 of fig. 1, the present application further provides another specific high-depth

scanning imaging system

100, and specifically refer to fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the high-depth scanning imaging system provided by the present application.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, the

light source unit

11 of the present embodiment further includes a

broadband light source

111 and a

coupler

112. The

coupler

112 may be a 2X2 optical fiber coupler, a first input end of the

coupler

112 is connected to the

broadband light source

111, a second input end of the

coupler

112 is connected to the

signal processing unit

15, a first output end of the coupler is connected to the reference arm

optical path unit

12, and a second output end of the coupler is connected to the sample arm

optical path unit

13.

The high-depth

scanning imaging system

100 of the present application uses a Super-luminescent diode (SLD) as the

broadband light source

111, and the

broadband light source

111 generates light of 780nm to 920nm and inputs the light to the

coupler

112. The

coupler

112 splits the light into two beams, one beam entering the reference arm

optical path unit

12 as reference light, and the other beam entering the sample arm

optical path unit

13 as sample light.

The reference arm

optical path unit

12 of the present embodiment further includes a

first collimating lens

121, a

first galvanometer

122, a first focusing

lens

123, at least one

glass plate

124, and a

mirror

125. The galvanometer is an excellent vector scanning device and is used as a special swing motor, and the basic principle is that an electrified coil generates torque in a magnetic field. However, unlike a rotating motor, a rotor of a galvanometer is provided with a reset torque by a mechanical torsion spring or an electronic method, the size of the reset torque is in direct proportion to the angle of the rotor deviating from a balance position, when a coil is electrified with a certain current and the rotor deflects to a certain angle, the size of an electromagnetic torque is equal to that of the reset torque, so that the rotor can not rotate like a common motor and can only deflect, and the deflection angle is in direct proportion to the current.

The

first galvanometer

122 has a first position a and a second position B. The main optical axis of the

first collimating lens

121 is parallel to the reference light, and the main optical axis of the

first collimating lens

121 is perpendicular to the main optical axis of the first focusing

lens

123; an included angle formed by the main optical axis of the

first collimating lens

121 and the

first polarizer

122 at the first position a is larger than an included angle formed by the main optical axis of the

first collimating lens

121 and the

first polarizer

122 at the second position B.

Since the position of the

first galvanometer

122 is adjustable, the reference light path of the present embodiment has at least two types, and the first reference light path is: the reference light passes through the

first collimating lens

121, the

first galvanometer

122 at the first position A and the first focusing

lens

123 in sequence, and is reflected on the surface of the

reflector

125; the second reference light path is as follows: the reference light passes through the

first collimating lens

121, the

first galvanometer

122 at the second position B, the at least one

glass plate

124, and the first focusing

lens

123 in this order, and is reflected on the surface of the

mirror

125.

Further, the reference return light returns along the reference light path and is re-coupled back to the

fiber coupler

112, interferes with the sample return light to generate an interference spectrum, and is detected by the

signal processing unit

15, and the depth information of the sample to be detected can be obtained by performing fourier transform on the interference spectrum.

Specifically, the optical path difference between the first reference light path and the second reference light path, i.e. the product of the thickness of the

glass sheet

124 and the difference between the refractive index of the

glass sheet

124 and the refractive index of air, is positively correlated with the scanning depth in both cases, i.e. the larger the optical path difference between the second reference light path and the first reference light path, the more the scanning depth in the second case is increased compared with the scanning depth in the first case.

Further, assume that the scanning depth of the first reference light path is 0-ZmaxThe thickness of the

glass sheet

124 is selected to be

Figure BDA0002350365920000061

Wherein n is the refractive index of the glass. At this time, the optical path length of the second reference light path is increased by Z compared with that of the first reference light pathmaxThe detection depth of the sample arm

light path unit

12 also needs to be increased by ZmaxThe optical path length of (1). Therefore, the depth information of the sample to be detected obtained by the

signal processing unit

15 performing fourier transform on the interference spectrum is equivalent to that in Zmax-2*ZmaxThat is, when the

first galvanometer

122 is at the second position B, the scanning depth of the sample to be detected is Zmax-2*Zmax. It can be seen that for the entire high depth

scanning imaging system

100, the high depth is scanned by introducing the

first galvanometer

122 and at least one

glass plate

124 in the reference arm optical path unit 12The scan depth of the

imaging system

100 is doubled.

Further, the scanning depth of the high-depth

scanning imaging system

100 of the embodiment may also be further adjusted by introducing a plurality of

glass sheets

124 or increasing the thickness of the

glass sheets

124 by multiple times, which is not described herein again.

The

signal processing unit

15 of the present embodiment includes a

spectrometer

151 and a computer processing system (not shown in the figure); the

spectrometer

151 forms an interference spectrum based on the reference return light and the sample return light, and transmits the interference spectrum to a computer processing system, which calculates depth information of the sample to be detected based on the interference spectrum.

The sample arm

optical path unit

13 of the present embodiment includes a

second collimator lens

131, a

second galvanometer

132, and a second focusing

lens

133. The sample light passes through the

second collimating lens

131, the

second galvanometer

132 and the second focusing

lens

133 in sequence, and is emitted to the sample to be detected on the sample detection table 14.

The main optical axis of the

second collimating lens

131 is parallel to the sample light, the included angle formed between the main optical axis of the

second collimating lens

131 and the

second galvanometer

132 is 45 °, and the main optical axis of the

second collimating lens

131 is perpendicular to the main optical axis of the second focusing

lens

133.

In the above embodiment, the high-depth

scanning imaging system

100 realizes different optical paths of the reference light by adjusting the position of the

first galvanometer

122 in the reference arm

optical path unit

12, so as to adjust the scanning depth of the imaging system, and the operation is simple, which is beneficial to saving cost.

The sample to be detected can be tissues such as glasses and skin of a user, and can also be part of medical supplies such as capsules. Among them, the capsule in medicine is a common medicine, and for the capsule with liquid sealed inside, the capsule with poor sealing performance will fail due to liquid leakage, while the capsule with solid sealed inside may be easy to be oxidized and fail due to poor sealing performance, so the sealing performance of the capsule directly affects the shelf life of the capsule. At present, no very good method for detecting the sealing performance of the capsule exists in the field of medicine preparation. The application provides an OCT imaging system as a nondestructive test technique, can detect the sample, capsule subsurface's fault condition promptly, can in time discover the poor capsule of leakproofness and reject on the one hand, improves the yields of capsule preparation, and on the other hand also can monitor the production state of preparation equipment.

In order to improve the detection efficiency of the capsule, the application provides a scheme of multi-path OCT scanning based on a scanning galvanometer.
