Abstract
We present a realization of real-time OCT-based strain mapping by estimating interframe phase-variation gradient using the developed "vector" method. This technique allows for mapping both fairly fast and large, as well as rather small strains, slowly-varying on intervals ~tens of minutes. Optimization of interframe interval for improving signal-to-noise ratio is discussed and experimentally demonstrated. Ultimate stability of strain estimation with the designed OCT setup is experimentally estimated using stable phantoms. Examples of spatially resolved maps of slowly-varying strains are demonstrated. The developed methods can be used in emerging techniques of laser-assisted modification of collagenous tissues (e.g., for such perspective application as fabrication of cartilaginous implants).
