Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and arrangements for measuring the dispersion and determining the concentration in substances, such as tissues and aqueous solutions, contained and influencing the dispersion.
- the arrangements described here are suitable for spatially localized measurement of the dispersion of different orders in transparent and partially transparent tissues and body fluids, especially in the aqueous humor of the human eye. From this dispersion measurement, the value contained therein, such as glucose, can be determined.
- iontophoresis e.g. Gluco Watch from Cygnus
- abrasion abrasion
- a disadvantage of these methods is the requirement for close skin contact, which is not disturbed by anything (not even sweat), and the time delay caused by the skin.
- Van Engen et al. Described a basic method for measuring the dispersion of different orders in transmission in 1998 (Van-Engen-AG,. Diddams-SA, and Clement-TS. Dispersion measurements of water with white-light interferometry. Applied-Optics 37 ( 24), 5679-5686. 1998).
- the present invention has for its object a technical solution for the non-invasive determination of the substance concentration in transparent or partially transparent ocular fluids or tissues, 'ntration particular glucose Konze to develop.
- the methods and arrangements presented here provide reliable and accurate measured values and are easy and convenient to use.
- the solutions are based on measuring the dispersion of the aqueous humor in the eye. For the measurement, a glance into the target beam emerging from the device and a push of a button to trigger the measurement is sufficient.
- the application relates to 2 different arrangements for measuring the dispersions and the glucose content in ocular tissues and / or other partially transparent substances. Since the proposed solutions work with reflected light, the depth of the compartments detected by the measurement, such as the thickness of the coma and the depth of the anterior chamber, can also be measured.

- FIG. 2 a series of partial interferograms of ocular interfaces
- FIG. 3 the spectral interferogram for a light-reflecting point
- Figure 4 an empirical calibration diagram for the
- FIG. 5 the signal of a calibration interferometer
- Figure 6 the optical principle of the spectral interferometer for dispersion and glucose measurement
- Figure 7 the use of a glucometer according to the invention.
- the proposed solutions enable both the measurement of the lengths of the compartments and the measurement of their dispersions.
- the measurement of the dispersions and the resulting glucose content in compartments such as tissues and aqueous solutions, for example the aqueous humor of the human Eye, are an integral part of the present solution.
- the arrangements and methods proposed here measure not only the dispersion of the irradiated media but also their thickness.
- the solutions according to the invention are based on two different measurement beam paths and the associated two calculation methods.
- the sample is located in one arm of a two-beam interferometer, for example a Michelson interferometer. While at the. Short coherence correlation interferometry of the reference mirror 14 of the interferometer is moved to record the interferogram at the interferometer output, the reference mirror 14 remains stationary during the measurement by spectral interferometry. A triple mirror or triple prism is preferably used as the reference mirror 14. The light beam emerging at the interferometer output is analyzed with a spectrophotometer. Both 'methods provide after some intermediate steps the frequency-dependent transfer function of the sample is calculated from the phase terms of the dispersions of the sample material. The individual steps of the two calculation methods and then the two measurement arrangements are described in detail below.
- a continuously shifted reference mirror causes a continuously changing optical path difference L between the reference and measuring beam and thus an interferogram G ( ⁇ ) which is dependent on the transit time difference r.
- the transit time difference ⁇ L / c is the time delay that occurs between the partial beams of the interferometer.
- G ( ⁇ ) is a signal as shown in Figure 2. From the spacing of the partial interferograms 21, 22, etc. (in our exemplary embodiment to 24), the thicknesses of the compartments result, as is customary in short-coherence correlation interferometry.
- the location-dependent dispersion values are obtained from the isolated partial interferograms 21 to 24.
- the spectral interferogram i ( ⁇ ) occurring at the interferometer output with a fixed reference mirror is registered.
- the spectrum plane 70 of the spectrometer has a period length P ⁇ -space, which is indirectly proportional (mirrored around the beam divider of the interferometer) to the distance of this point from the virtual position of the reference mirror.
- Hilbert transform of i ( ⁇ ) gives the complex interferogram I ( ⁇ ).
- a Fourier transformation provides the interferogram G ( ⁇ ) and thus also the partial interferograms as well as the thicknesses of the compartments, as previously described under point 117.
- the dispersion can basically be calculated using the partial interferograms as in point 7.7.2. However, because of the small number of samples per partial interferogram, this would provide poor sensitivity and accuracy. Greater sensitivity is obtained if the procedure according to the invention is as follows: Depending on the distance of the light-emitting point in the eye, the interferogram spectrum I ( ⁇ ) contains light components with different lengths of period P in the ⁇ space. According to the Sampling-TheoreiTT, the sampling must be carried out with such a high spatial frequency that aliasing is omitted. This is according to the rules of spectral interferometry
- the smallest period lengths P im belong to the reflection points furthest away from the reference mirror Intensity spectrum and thus the largest 1 / P frequencies in the intensity curve in the spectral plane 70. In order to avoid confusion with the light frequency ⁇ , this frequency is referred to as “1 / P frequency”.
- the scanning in the spectral plane 70 must therefore take place that the sampling theorem is fulfilled for the reflection points that are virtually the furthest away from the reference mirror position, since otherwise the signal components are shifted along the measurement path due to the “aliasing” phenomenon.
- the reference mirror is positioned in such a way that its virtual position comes as close as possible to the position of the measurement object (on the eye, for example, the front surface of the lens) where the dispersion is to be determined.
- the lowest 1 / P frequencies in the intensity profile in the spectrum plane 70 and the greatest period lengths include P.
- the higher 1 / P-frequencies are in the intensity course in the spectrum plane 70 mathematically eliminated.
- Intensity curve in the spectral plane 70 determined. The dispersions to the interface which is virtually the closest to the reference mirror are obtained.
- a temporally short-coherent light source for example a superluminescent diode or a multimode laser, an LED, a plasma light source, a halogen lamp or an incandescent lamp, emits a short-coherent light beam 2, which is collimated by the optics 3, into the modified Micheison interferometer with the beam splitter 4
- Beam splitter 4 divides this beam into measuring beam 5 and reference beam 6.
- Measuring beam 5 strikes eye 7 and is separated from its interfaces, for example corneal front surface 8, corneal rear surface 9, lens front surface 10, lens Back surface 11 and fundus 12 reflected back.
- the reflected light waves 45 pass through the interferometer and hit the photodetector 13.
- the reference beam 6 is reflected by the triple prism 14, transmits the flat plate 15 (a second time) and is reflected by the rear surface of the beam splitter 4 onto the photodetector 13, where it is comes to interference with the times 45 reflected by the eye 7.
- the reference mirror 14 is also used.
- the interferogram G ( ⁇ ) is obtained from the photoelectric signal of the detector 13 by frequency band filtering at the Doppler frequency. If the optical paths in the measuring beam 5 and reference beam 6 are of equal size within the coherence length, as indicated, for example, in FIG. 1 by the distance D for the lens front surface 10, a photoelectric alternating signal with this Doppler frequency occurs at the photodetector 13, as is the case with the Doppler frequency indicated in FIG. 2 with the partial interferogram 23.
- G (z) contains a series of partial interferograms, according to FIG. 2: 21 is the interferogram of the wave reflected by the corneal front surface 8 with the reference wave 6; 22 that of the wave reflected by the corneal rear surface 9 with the reference wave 6; 23 that wave reflected by the lens front surface 10 with the reference wave 6 and 24 that wave reflected by the lens rear surface 11 with the reference wave 6.
- the interferogram of the wave reflected by the fundus 12 with the reference wave 6 is not shown. In physics, these interferograms are also described as the interference of wave groups reflected at the interfaces with that of the reference arm.
- Figure 2 indicates the dispersion-related Increase in the coherence length l c along the abscissa and a change in the waveform of these wave groups.
- the dispersion-related change in the partial interferograms G (z) outlined in FIG. 2 is the basis for the dispersion and glucose measurement presented here.
- the locations at which the partial interferograms are created in the measurement object are therefore possible positions for the dk dispersion measurement.
- the 1st order dispersion, that is -, causes a d ⁇ different from the phase velocity c of light
- ⁇ Q 2 ⁇ v 0 with the mean frequency v 0 of the light wave.
- dn n G 77-1 - is the group index, n is the refractive index.
- d s n Since the spectral course of the refractive index n is determined by the polarizability of the molecules of the medium, d s n, as well as its s th differential quotient, are characteristic of the d ⁇ s light-transmitting molecule types. Both the spectral profile of n ( ⁇ ) and the spectral profile can be used for such a characterization
- a water-filled cuvette can be arranged in the reference jet, the water distance of which corresponds to that of the chamber depth plus the corneal thickness. Because of the high water content of the cornea, it can be included in the dispersion compensation for water.
- the dispersion effect of glucose is proportional to its concentration in the aqueous humor as well as to the depth of the anterior chamber.
- the corneal thickness is ⁇ c - VGC > the anterior chamber depth is K ' V GVK > where v GC ⁇ and VQ VK are the group velocities in the cornea and in the anterior chamber.
- the information about the anterior chamber glucose is contained in the interferogram 23 of the front surface 10 of the lens.
- a very short movement of the reference mirror 14 is sufficient to detect the interferogram 23 of the front surface 10 of the lens; in principle, a distance of a few coherence lengths is sufficient. Depending on the bandwidth of the light source 1, this is a few micrometers to a few tens of micrometers.
- a short scan mode for the reference mirror is provided for this dispersion measurement; in which it is only moved a short distance, for example Vz mm virtually centered around the position of the dispersion measurement, for example around the position of the lens front surface 10. This can be done by a corresponding electrical short scan mode of the control unit 25 controlling the drive motor 19.
- Such a short scan mode can also be realized in that the reference mirror 14 by means of a piezoelectric. Adjustment unit 20 is fastened on the carriage 16, with the aid of which a precise movement of a few tens of micrometers to a few hundred micrometers is carried out when the carriage 16 is stationary.
- the short scan mode can also be implemented by an electrodynamic adjustment by means of a so-called "voice coil” or another fine adjustment. It should be pointed out that the short coherence depth scan itself can also be carried out using one of the last-mentioned devices. In this case too, the short scan mode can be implemented by means of the electrical control unit 25.
- the A-scan can also be carried out using the method described by Kwong et al 1993 [Kwong-KF, Yankelevich-D, Chu-KC, Heritage-JP-, and Dienes-A: 400-Hz mechanical scanning optical delay line. Opt. Lett. 18 (7), 558-560, 1993].
- ⁇ can a tilting mirror realized the short scan mode by appropriate electrical control.
- a forehead support 63 is provided, with the help of which one is supported up to approximately by supporting the head on the measuring device! mm can ensure exact device distance (see Figure 7). Since the anatomical position of the eye 7 with respect to the forehead varies from subject to subject, this forehead support must allow a variable device distance to be set. The correct position of the lens front surface 10 of the eye 7 and, accordingly, the position of the iris and the entrance pupil are decisive.
- a device which allows the entrance pupil of the eye 7 to be reproducibly brought to the same position with respect to the interferometer.
- This consists of a (pierced) spherical concave mirror 30.
- the test person must bring his eye 7 into such a position that the concave mirror 30 images the entrance pupil 31 of the eye 7 on it itself on a 1: 1 scale. This is the case if the subject, eye 7 approaching the device, has no light sensation for the first time - or if the subject, eye 7 removed from the device, has no light sensation for the last time. This process is facilitated by a forehead support 63 with a continuously adjustable distance.
- the viewing direction of the eye 7 must be fixed. It should be noted that the visual axis is approx. 5 ° to 10 ° nasal (towards the nose) to the imaginary axis of symmetry of the optical system, the optical axis.
- the eye 7 In order to get the reflections from the interfaces of the eye 7 into the interferometer beam path, the eye 7 must be oriented accordingly. This is achieved by means of a target beam 32, which is generated by the punctiform light source 33 and the collimation optics 34 and is directed onto the eye 7 via the pierced deflection mirror 35.
- the collimation optics 34 can be moved in their holder 36 in the x and y directions, so that different inclinations of the target beam 32 relative to the axis of the measuring beam-5 can be set.
- a further quay calibration interferometer is shown: This consists of the light source 40, which, in contrast to the light source 1, is highly coherent in time, such as a monomode semiconductor laser or a Heiium neon -Laser.
- this calibration interferometer consists of collimation optics 41, a deflecting mirror 42, an end mirror 43 and the photodetector 44.
- the beam splitter 4 and the reference mirror 14 of the short-coherence-iriterferometer act as a beam splitter and reference mirror.
- the beam path of the calibration interferometer is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1 offset to the side of the beam course of the short-coherence interferometer. However, it is actually slightly above or below the beam path of the short coherence interferometer.
- the electrical signals supplied by the photodetectors are processed in the computing unit 60.
- a strictly linear abscissa with ⁇ is important. Due to speed fluctuations of the reference mirror 14, however, serious non-linearities in ⁇ arise here. These are eliminated with the help of the photodetector signal of the calibration interferometer.
- the calibration interferometer delivers a periodic signal with a period length of half the wavelength of its light during the entire displacement of the reference mirror 14, as outlined in FIG. 5. This divides the abscissa into constant sections, which can serve as a time base for the synchronously recorded measurement signal and thus linearize the time scale of the measurement signal.
- a temporally short-coherent light source 1 such as a superluminescent diode, a multimode laser, an LED, a piasmal lamp, an incandescent lamp or a halogen lamp, emits a short-coherent light beam 2, which is collimated by the optics 3 into the modified Michelson interferometer with the beam splitter 4.
- the beam splitter 4 divides this beam into the measuring beam 5 and the reference beam 6.
- the measuring beam 5 strikes the eye 7 and is separated from its interfaces, for example the front surface of the cornea 8, the rear surface of the cornea 9, the front surface of the lens 10, the rear surface of the lens 11 and the fundus 12 reflected back.
- reflected light waves 45 pass through the interferometer and strike the spectrometer consisting of entrance aperture 51, collimation optics 52, diffraction grating 53, focusing optics 55 and detector array 56.
- the reference beam 6 transmits the plane plate 15, is reflected by the reference mirror 14, transmits the plane plate 15 a second time and is directed from the rear surface of the beam splitter 4 into the entrance aperture 51 of the spectrometer, where it interferes with the waves 45 reflected by the eye 7 ,
- the spectral interferogram i ( ⁇ ) registered in the spectral plane 70 by the detector array 56 forms the basis for the calculation of the first-order dispersions, as described under item 7.2.2.
- the measurement of the intraocular sections such as corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and lens thickness is carried out according to the rules of short coherence interferometry ("Fourier-domain LCI", see the above-cited review AF Fercher and CK Hitzenberger: Optical Coherence Tomography, in: Progress in Optics . Vol. 44 (2003), Ch. 4, editor E. Wolf)
- the virtual position of the reference mirror (mirrored around the beam splitter surface of the interferometer) must be approximately twice the distance of the sum of these sections in front of the cornea be that it allows you to set this distance.
- the virtual position of the reference mirror mirrored around the beam splitter surface of the interferometer
- the already known Fourier-domain LCI length measurement technology must be as close as possible to that Position of the dispersion measurement lie.
- a forehead support 63 is provided, by means of which one can ensure an accurate device distance of up to approximately 1 mm by supporting the head on the measuring device. Since the anatomical position of the eye 7 with respect to the forehead varies from subject to subject, the device distance must be variably adjustable.
- the correct position of the lens front surface 10 of the eye 7 is decisive for the measurement of the aqueous humor dispersion; this corresponds to the position of the iris and thus the entrance pupil 31 of the eye 7.
- a device is therefore also provided here, by means of which the test person can bring the entrance pupil 31 of his eye 7 reproducibly to the same position with respect to the interferometer.
- a (pierced) spherical concave mirror 30 is attached to the measuring window of the interferometer. The test subject must move his eye 7 into such a position that the concave mirror 30 images the entrance pupil 31 of the eye 7 on it itself on a 1: 1 scale.
- a forehead support 63 with a continuously variable distance.
- the gaze direction of the subject's eye 7 must be fixed.
- the optics 34 can be displaced in their holder 36 in the x and y directions, so that different inclinations of the target beam 32 relative to the axis of the measuring beam 5 can thereby be set.
- the calculation methods described under point 7 are carried out in a computing unit 60 or 61.
- the glucose content is determined from the calculated dispersions on the basis of stored empirical tables, such as that shown in FIG. 4.
- Figure 7 shows the use of such a device.
- the entire arrangement including the computing unit (60 or 61) can easily be accommodated in a housing 62 which can be held in front of the eye 7 with one hand and supported on the forehead by means of the forehead support 63.
- the described methods measure the cumulative dispersion up to the position of the dispersion measurement. These methods can therefore be used to measure the dispersions in tissues other than cornea and aqueous humor be used. For example, to measure the cumulative dispersion in the cornea, aqueous humor and lens; or to measure the cumulative dispersion in cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous. These methods can be also used for measurement of the dispersions in other tissues and • liquids.
- the decisive factor here is the position of the reference mirror: In spectral interferometry, this must be virtually as close as possible to the position of the dispersion measurement so that the low-pass spectrum contains the signal from the position of the dispersion measurement. With short-coherence correlation interferometry, the scan path of the short-scan mode must contain the position of the dispersion measurement. By forming the difference, the dispersion of individual tissues alone, for example the dispersion of the eye lens, can also be determined from these measured values.
