Abstract

We report on the development of a novel, to the best of our knowledge, coaxial double-clad-fiber (DCF) and graded-index (GRIN) fiberoptic Raman probe for enhancing epithelial tissue Raman measurements in vivo. The ultra-thin (140 µm outer diameter) DCF-GRIN fiberoptic Raman probe is designed and fabricated with an efficient coaxial optical configuration, whereby a GRIN fiber is spliced onto the DCF to enhance both the excitation/collection efficiency and depth-resolved selectivity. We demonstrate that the DCF-GRIN Raman probe can be used to acquire high-quality in vivo Raman spectra from various oral tissues (e.g., buccal mucosa, labial mucosa, gingiva, mouth floor, palate, and tongue) covering both the fingerprint (800–1800 cm−1) and high-wavenumber (2800–3600 cm−1) regions within sub-seconds. The subtle biochemical differences between different epithelial tissues in the oral cavity can also be detected with high sensitivity, suggesting the potential of the DCF-GRIN fiberoptic Raman probe for in vivo diagnosis and characterization in epithelial tissue.
