ABSTRACT:
An optical probe for illuminating a location outside or inside a medical ient with a range of optical wavelengths appropriate to both diagnostic and surgical procedures comprises a polarization-preserving optical waveguide to conduct a polarized light beam to a polarizing beamsplitter, an optical detector to detect light deflected by the beamsplitter, a quarter-wave plate to couple the light between a non-refractive focusing element and a target, and a probe enclosure.
