Abstract
- A major challenge in biophotonics is multimodal imaging to obtain both morphological and molecular information at depth. We demonstrate a hybrid approach integrating optical coherence tomography (OCT) with wavelength modulated spatially offset Raman spectroscopy (WM‐SORS). With depth colocalization obtained from the OCT, we can penetrate 1.2‐mm deep into strong scattering media (lard) to acquire up to a 14‐fold enhancement of a Raman signal from a hidden target (polystyrene) with a spatial offset. Our approach is capable of detecting both Raman and OCT signals for pharmaceutical particles embedded in turbid media and revealing the white matter at depth within a 0.6‐mm thick brain tissue layer. This depth resolved label‐free multimodal approach is a powerful route to analyze complex biomedical samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
