Femtosecond laser micro-inscription of optical coherence tomography resolution test artifacts
This paper details the first use of femtosecond micro-inscription to fabricate OCT phantoms giving significant advantages over existing techniques. OCT phantoms are important to enable the calibration of OCT systems throughout their lifetime to ensure confidence in clinical results. Several papers followed (with Queen Mary Dental School, NPL and University of Vienna) taking the work from proof of concept to fabrication of phantoms that could be used for resolution, point spread function, xyz and sensitivity measurements. The technology is currently in the early stages of commercialisation by Arden Photonics (David Robinson, MD, david.robinson@ardenphotonics.com)
