Abstract
Recently, 3D imaging endoscopes have made their way into endoscopy and enable three-dimensional visualization. While many of them require optics with mounts increasing the fibers diameter, two-photon polymerization enables mount-free fabrication of optical elements directly on the tip of fibers. Using multicore fibers combined with diffractive optical elements (DOE) enables the phase to be taken into account in measurements in addition to intensity, enabling 3D imaging. While each multicore fiber has an individual distribution of phase differences, an individual DOE is required, which can be fabricated rapidly and stitching-free with high precision using maskless 3D lithography.
