Indentation probe with optical fibre array‐based optical coherence tomography for material deformation
We present a new optomechanical probe for mechanical testing of soft matter. The probe consists of a micromachined cantilever equipped with an indenting sphere, and an array of 16 single‐mode optical fibres, which are connected to an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system that allows subsurface a...

description | We present a new optomechanical probe for mechanical testing of soft matter. The probe consists of a micromachined cantilever equipped with an indenting sphere, and an array of 16 single‐mode optical fibres, which are connected to an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system that allows subsurface analysis of the sample during the indentation stroke. To test our device and its capability, we performed indentation on a PDMS‐based phantom. Our findings demonstrate that Common Path (CP)‐OCT via lensed optical fibres can be successfully combined with a microindentation sensor to visualise the phantom's deformation profile at different indentation depths and locations in real time. LAY DESCRIPTION: This work presents a new approach to simultaneously perform micro‐indentation experiments and OCT imaging. An optical fiber array‐based sensor is used to develop a new hybrid tool where micro‐indentation is combined with optical coherence tomography. The sensor is therefore capable of compressing a sample with a small force and simultaneously collecting OCT depth profiles underneath and around the indentation point. This method offers the opportunity to characterize the mechanical properties of soft materials and simultaneously visualize their deformation profile. The ability to integrate OCT imaging with indentation technology is promising for the non‐invasive and precise characterization of different soft materials. |
