Beginning in 2006, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been adapted for use as a
vibrometer for hearing research. The application of OCT in this field, particularly for studying …

The cochlea is a complex biological machine that transduces sound-induced mechanical
vibrations to neural signals. Hair cells within the sensory tissue of the cochlea transduce …

Within the cochlea, the basilar membrane (BM) is coupled to the reticular lamina (RL)
through three rows of piezo-like outer hair cells (OHCs) and supporting cells that endow …

Endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a valuable tool for providing diagnostic
images of internal organs and guiding interventions in real time. Miniaturized OCT …

OCT is a real-time, noninvasive, nonionizing, point-of-care imaging modality capable of
imaging ear structures in vivo. Although current clinical systems are mainly focused on …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized physiological studies of the
hearing organ, the vibration and morphology of which can now be measured without …

The basilar membrane (BM) is connected to the reticular lamina (RL) through three rows of Y-
shaped structures consisting of an outer hair cell (OHC) and a Deiters' cell (DC) with a …

Endoscopic optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a valuable tool for providing diagnostic
images of internal organs and guiding interventions in real time. Miniaturized OCT …

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common sensory deficit, disabling nearly half
a billion people worldwide. The cochlear implant (CI) has transformed the treatment of …

We present a method to passively edge couple multiple optical fibers with silicon nitride
waveguides in the visible wavelengths. We efficiently convert the fiber mode to the …
