Robust and easy-to-operate stretched-pulse mode-locked wavelength-swept laser with an all-polarization-maintaining fiber cavity for 10 MHz A-line rate optical coherence tomography
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We demonstrate robust and easy-to-operate stretched-pulse mode-locked laser (SPML) architectures using all-polarization-maintaining fiber laser cavities. Because of the polarization-maintaining construction, the laser performance is unaffected by mechanical perturbation on the cavity fibers. The lasers automatically initiate linear-in-wavenumber sweeps across 100 nm centered at 1290 nm with a 10 MHz repetition rate. OCT imaging with a sensitivity of 98 dB and a single-sided 6 dB coherence length of 2.5 mm is demonstrated. OCT angiography of a mouse brain that visualized three-dimensional cerebral microvasculature over a field of 1.5 m m × 1.5 m m (398 A-lines × 380 B-scans) at a rate of 5.26 volumes per second is also presented. The robust all-PMF SPML lasers are a turnkey, high-performance source for ultrahigh-speed OCT imaging.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
