It also proves to be advantageous that several components can be used together to carry out the different evaluation methods. Said device is suitable when using the evaluation method of the stimulated Raman scattering.
  • the output signals of the optical parametric oscillator and the backscattered signals are distinguished by the polarization planes of the signals are rotated in the path of the signals.
  • This embodiment again relates to the stimulated Raman scattering, because in this case the frequencies of the scattered radiation coincide with the frequencies of the introduced radiation.
  • the evaluation takes place in this case in that the scattered radiation amplifies the radiation introduced with respect to one frequency and is weakened with respect to the other frequency. In order to distinguish the scattered radiation from the introduced radiation, these radiations are polarized differently.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore an apparatus for performing optical tomography of the skin, wherein the imaging signals by generation and detection of multiphoton fluorescence, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) or the second harmonic (SHG) of the incident light arise.
  • CARS coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering

  • an electromagnetic pump field with a central frequency (Dp and an electromagnetic Stokes field with central frequency w s are used.
  • CARS microscopy (as well as SHG microscopy) does not require fluorophores, since the imaging mechanism is based on vibrational excitation of chemical and biological samples, and provides significantly higher coherence properties due to CARS microscopy Sensitivity as the spontaneous Raman microscopy, whereby a clear H lower average excitation power can be used or a shorter measurement time is necessary.
  • US Patent No. 6108081 deals with an apparatus and method for microscopically imaging molecular vibrations using CARS with a collinear excitation geometry.
  • collinear pump and Stokes beams are focused onto the sample with the aid of a high numerical aperture objective. Due to the nonlinear dependence of the signal on the excitation intensity, only in The small focus volume generates signals so that a three-dimensional scanning of the sample is possible. The signals are detected only in the beam direction.
  • US Patent No. 6934020 deals with an apparatus in which the signal is detected from the sample in the reverse direction (opposite to the beam direction, Epi-CARS).
  • This reverse signal typically has a higher signal-to-noise ratio, but is weaker in many applications than the signal simultaneously generated in the forward direction.
  • US Patent 7414729 describes an endoscopy system in which at least two stimulating electromagnetic fields and the generated signal are transmitted through an optical fiber system.
  • the signal is again generated by the non-linear interaction of the exciting electromagnetic fields with the sample volume and passed through the same fiber as the exciting fields to the detector.
  • the subject matter of the present invention is a tomograph which generates and detects signals in a spatially resolved manner by non-linear optical excitation.
  • the image signals are generated by pixel-by-pixel detection of the signal intensities.
  • the spatial resolution is generated by minimizing the focus volume, since only in this volume signals arise.
  • the signals to be detected are multiphoton autofluorescence, the second harmonics of the incident light and CARS light.
  • CARS signals For the generation of CARS signals, at least two collinear laser beams of different wavelengths must be focused through a microscope objective onto the sample in a common focus volume.
  • the signal light must be collected and (spectrally) separated from the incident radiation and detected.
  • an oscillator in combination with an optical parametric oscillator can be used.
  • the laser beams can be moved over the skin with the aid of scanner mirrors and the collected signal can be detected with a photomultiplier.
  • OPO optical parametric oscillator
  • the use of a single laser beam is sufficient, the second laser beam can be blocked in this mode of operation.
  • different excitation wavelengths and filters must generally be used. Exemplary embodiments of the tomograph for carrying out optical skin examinations on the basis of multiphoton excitations, the generation of the second harmonic and coherent anti-Stokes-Raman scattering are described below.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the combined multiphoton excitation CARS tomograph.
  • the excitation is carried out by a femtosecond oscillator and an optical parametric oscillator.
  • the pulses of a femtosecond oscillator (a) (eg MaiTai HP Spectra Physics) are directed via deflecting mirrors located under a cover (b) into an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) (c) (eg Chameleon APE Berlin)
  • OPO generates sig- naled signal and idler pulses that emerge through an opening on the side, in addition to which the OPO has an output opening for the oscillator pulses, which are spatially and temporally superimposed on oscillator and Stokes pulse trains by means of a delay path and a dichroic mirror.
  • the pulses are then focused on the skin to be examined via a scanner-detector module (e) and a mirror arm with focusing optics.
  • the (mirror) scanner is used for pixel-by-pixel scanning of the sample with the stimulating pulses.
  • the generated signals (depending on the configuration CARS, autofluorescence, SHG) are collected by the same focusing optics and passed through the mirror arm (f) back into the scan detector module (e).
  • stimulating radiation and signal are separated by a dichroic mirror and the signal is detected.

  • a single beam is sufficient.
  • either the oscillator, signal or Idlerpulse be used and blocked the other beams each.
  • suitable filters are introduced into the signal beam path, for example by sliding tabs, eg color glass filters BG 39 for the detection of SHG and autofluorescence, and suitable bandpass filters for the exclusive detection of SHG or CARS signals.
  • the superimposed Stokes and oscillator pulses are used for the excitation of CARS signals, for example of water (eg central wavelength of the oscillator pulses: 810 nm, signal pulses: 1105 nm, CARS signal at 639 nm, filter used: bandpass 624/40) or the CH 2 Stretching vibration used, which occurs in lipid molecules (eg oscillator pulses: 810 nm, signal pulses: 1052 nm, CARS signal at 658 nm, bandpass filter 660/10).
  • an oscillator another laser is conceivable that can generate pulses in the fs range.
  • a picosecond oscillator may be used in the described construction.
  • the pulse duration of the OPO pulses is then also in the picosecond range. With these pulses, CARS can achieve higher spectral accuracy of excitation, but the pulse intensities available to excite autofluorescence are lower.
  • one of the previously described possibilities is used to generate the exciting electromagnetic fields and to generate autofluorescence / SHG signals.
  • another non-linear Raman technique is used.
  • One such technique is stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).
  • SRS stimulated Raman scattering
  • Two E fields (pump and Stokes) of different wavelengths are simultaneously irradiated onto the sample and spatially superimposed. If the energy difference of pump and Stokes E fields corresponds to the energy of a vibration transition, then the molecule can be excited to vibrate.
  • the Stokes E field is amplified by stimulated emission and the pump field is attenuated. The intensity of this increase in intensity or attenuation is used as a signal for imaging.
  • SRS measurement in epi-geometry does not allow spectral separation of stimulating rays and backscattered signal.
  • a beam splitter can be used for a separation, which either lets pass or reflects differently polarized light.
  • a quarter-wave plate is introduced into the excitation / signal beam path, which circularly polarizes the linearly polarized exciting radiation.
  • the amplified or attenuated signal light passes through the quarter-wave plate a second time on the way to the detector and is thus linearly polarized with a plane of polarization shifted by 90 ° with respect to the exciting radiation.
  • Exciting light and signal light are then spatially separated by a polarization beam splitter and the signal light is detected.
  • the lock-in technique is used.
  • the intensity of the Stokes beam is modulated at high frequency and the intensity of the pump beam at the modulation frequency detected with a lock-in amplifier.
  • the pump beam can also be modulated and the intensity of the Stokes beam can be detected.
  • SHG / Autofluoreszenzsignalen is converted to the configuration shown in Figure 2 by the detector and filter and beam splitters are mounted on slidable riders.
