Abstract:
1. An optical apparatus, comprising: an optical scanning module, for providing an optical signal toward an object for optical tomography; a rotation axis module, disposed out of the optical scanning module, when the rotation axis module rotates, the rotation axis module making the optical scanning module to perform a rotation scanning process on the object; and a rotation mirror, disposed between the optical scanning module and the object instead of being integrated with the optical scanning module, in the rotation scanning process, the rotation mirror moving in a 1-D direction relative to the object and cooperating with the rotation axis module to bring the rotation of the optical scanning module to perform a 2-D scan on the object; wherein an end of the rotation axis module is coupled to a center of a bottom outer surface of the optical scanning module or coupled to a side outer surface of the optical scanning module to bring the optical scanning module to rotate through the bottom outer surface or the side outer surface of the optical scanning module, and the optical signal provided by the optical scanning module is not emitted toward the rotation axis module; the optical scanning module is an optical probe, and the optical probe is integrated with the rotation axis module to increase a maximum scanning range and a scanning rate of the optical apparatus.
