  • Publication number: 20240027331
    Abstract: A hand-held scanning probe is included in an optical scanning system. The hand-held scanning probe includes a housing and an optical component. The optical component includes a first lens, a reflector, a two-dimensional beam scanning mechanism, a splitter and a second lens. The first lens is used to receive a laser beam split by a fiber-coupled splitter and convert the laser beam into a form of collimated light. The reflector is used to refract the laser beam. The two-dimensional beam scanning mechanism provides the laser beam to a surface for two-dimensional scanning, producing a swing beam. The splitter is used to separate a scanning end beam returned from the test specimen from an illumination beam into two different light paths. The second lens is used to focus the swing beam at the test surface to form the scanning end beam for scanning. An optical scanning system is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20090115997
    Abstract: Measurement system and methods for measuring oxygenated hemoglobin saturation level are provided. Light is transmitted to test blood and a reference mirror. The reference mirror provides a first reflected light beam, and backscattered light from different depths of the test blood generates a second reflected light beam. An interfered light signal is generated by light interference of the first and second reflected light beams. According to the interfered light signal, a first light decay constant for a first light wavelength range and a second light decay constant for a second light wavelength range are obtained according to the interfered light signal. A decay ratio of the first light decay constant to the second light decay constant is obtained. Oxygenated hemoglobin saturation level of the test blood is obtained according to the decay ratio.
