University of MissouriOffice of Technology Management & Industry RelationsNon-Confidential Abstract of InventionUM Disclosure No. 16UMC072Ultra-High Resolution Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)Adequate detection and analysis of the choroidal thickness and other structures in the eye are critical to the accurate and successful diagnosis of eye diseases. However, current optical coherence tomography technology is limited in resolution and penetration depth due to the use of a Gaussian Beam. The current invention utilizes a particular system of known beams in an innovative way to expand sample detection depth of field (DOF). A particular beam is used that maintains its structure for a much longer distance than the Gaussian Beam. This beam is then integrated into an OCT system using a specially-designed signal and reference system. The result is a significant step in the refinement of OCT technology and, specifically, an increase of DOF by a factor of 10. An OCT imaging device manufacturer could see a significant improvement in the quality of images produced to support better diagnosis and treatment of optical diseases.POTENTIAL AREAS OF APPLICATIONS:• OCT Imaging Devices• Superior Diagnosis AbilityMAIN ADVANTAGES OF INVENTION:• Better Depth of FieldSTATE OF DEVELOPMENT:• Patent Application in Work LICENSING POTENTIAL:• University seeks licensee with the potential to commercializeINVENTOR(S):• Ping Yu• Lixin MaCONTACT INFO: Office of Technology Management & Industry Relations Wayne C.
