Accurate Modeling and Design of Graded-Index Fiber Probes for Optical Coherence Tomography Using the Beam Propagation Method

Fiber-optic probes for sensing and biomedical imaging applications such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) frequently employ sections of graded-index (GRIN) fiber to re-focus the diverging light from the delivery fiber. Such GRIN fiber microlenses often possess aberrations that cause significant...
