Abstract
3D micro-printing enables the formation of complex shapes at a print resolution of tens of nanometers using two-photon lithography. Our team have explored the use of 3D micro-printing to fabricate complex optical geometries directly on the end of a fiber. In this work, we have developed a lens-in-lens design that enables in-vivo high-sensitivity fluorescence and OCT imaging through a single-fiber-based probe, with a diameter <550 microns including a protective catheter sheath. In a parallel work, we have also fabricated a side-facing OCT fiber probe (<300 microns diameter) creating an elongated Bessel beam and simultaneously correct for aberrations.
