Abstract:
The invention relates to a supercontinuum light source comprising a microstructured optical fiber and a pump light source. The microstructured optical fiber comprises a core and a cladding region surrounding the core, as well as a first fiber length section, a second fiber length section and an intermediate fiber length section between said first and second fiber length sections. The first fiber length section comprises a core with a first characteristic core diameter. The second fiber length section comprises a core with a second characteristic core diameter, smaller than said first characteristic core diameter, where said second characteristic core diameter is substantially constant along said second fiber length section. The intermediate length section of the optical fiber comprises a core which is tapered from said first characteristic core diameter to said second characteristic core diameter over a tapered length.

Claim (Index 46):
A multimodal photoacoustic and optical coherence tomography (OCT) image acquisition system comprising the photoacoustic imaging system of  claim 45  combined with an OTC imaging system, wherein the photoacoustic imaging system and the OTC imaging system use said supercontinuum light source as a common light source, said multimodal photoacoustic and optical coherence tomography (OCT) image acquisition system further comprises a detector for collecting reflected light and an image processor for forming an image of the detected reflected light.
