Abstract
Monitoring the tissue temperature is highly desirable for predictable and reproducible retinal laser therapy. We demonstrate that the temperature rise can be determined using pOCT imaging of the optical path length changes within the laser spot relative to the non-heated region. A temperature-sensitive fluorescent dye was used for initial calibration. By matching the thermal expansion across the beam width and along the full course of heating and cooling, the temperature distribution can be determined with a precision of about 10% (under 2℃ with a peak heating of 17℃) following a single laser pulse of 20ms in duration.
