Project Overview

Our project involves creating a needle with imaging capabilities via optical coherence tomography (OCT). The needle has several optical components which include a fiber lens and a diffraction optic. These components have several parameters that may be optimized. Following the compilation of these specifications, we will design the diffraction optic optimizing both the spatial and spectral resolution while considering the biological requirements.
