DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING OXYGEN SATURATION OF A SUBJECT
The present invention relates to a device (100), system (500) and method for determining SpO2 (160) of a subject. Two types of PPG measurements, widefield PPG with a homogenous illumination and/or a spot pattern and radial PPG with a spot illumination, are used to quantify the discrepancy in penetration depths for electromagnetic radiation in the red spectral range and infrared spectral range. This discrepancy in penetration depth is then used to find a more stable ratio signals of ratios, RR, and thus a more accurate SpO2 (160).

COMMON PATH WAVEGUIDES FOR STABLE OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY IMAGING
An OCT imaging system may include an OCT light source operable to emit an OCT light beam, and a beam splitter operable to split the OCT light beam into a sample beam, transferred to a sample arm waveguide, and a reference beam, transferred to a reference arm waveguide. The sample arm waveguide and the reference arm waveguide may be coupled together within a cladding, wherein the cladding improves a calibration of a generated OCT image by fixing axial movement of the sample arm and reference arm waveguides relative to one another. By routing long reference and sample arm waveguide fibers together in the OCT system using a sheath/cladding, OCT image offset due to asymmetrical fiber stretching can be minimized or eliminated.
