Abstract :
A liquid lens-based dynamic focusing skin imaging probe with for in vivo OCM optimized for a Ti:Sa pulsed broadband laser source of bandwidth 100 nm centered at 800 nm is presented. High, quasi-invariant resolution of 3 mum for a 2 mm x 2 mm lateral cross-section, across 2 mm skin depth is demonstrated.
