    Abstract

    A fiber bundle made of 12×9 individual Ge-As-Te-Se fibers with a core diameter of 20 μm has been tested for optical properties and used to carry out the imaging experiment. A 5~11 μm continuous tunable quantum cascade laser has been used to test the bundle’s attenuation property with a cut-back method. The attenuation of bundle is nearly 1 dB/cm in the spectral region. A compact distal objective lens with length of 13.6 mm and diameter of 6 mm based on telecentric system has been designed and fabricated. The MTF of the lens showed the ablitity to transmit the image with resolution of 25 μm. A infrared image with 2 mm×2 mm and 100 μm resolution with quantum cascade lasers illumination, which has high power spectrum density and narrow linewidth, has been captured. A comparison experiment about the environmental temperature has been conducted illuminated by quantum cascade laser and incoherent black body, it proved that the quantum cascade laser illumination could help build a high SNR imaging under a high environmental temperature even above human's temperature. It would be meaningful for the next infrared endoscopy experiment in vivo way.
