Abstract

Lensless fiber endoscopes are of great importance for keyhole imaging. Coherent fiber bundles (CFB) can be used in endoscopes as remote phased arrays to capture images. One challenge is to image at high speed while correcting aberrations induced by the CFB. We propose the combination of digital optical phase conjugation, using a spatial light modulator, with fast scanning, for which a 2D galvo scanner and an adaptive lens are employed. We achieve the transmission of laser and image scanning through the CFB. Video-rate imaging at 20 Hz in 2D with subcellular resolution is demonstrated in 3D with 1 Hz. The sub-millimeter-diameter scanning endoscope has a great potential in biomedicine, for manipulation, e.g., in optogenetics, as well as in imaging.
