    Figures & Tables(6)
    Schematic diagram of the spacer-removed probe.nf, ng, nc, and nair are the refractive index of SMF core, GRIN fiber at the center, NCF, and air, respectively; lg and lc are the length of GRIN fiber and NCF; P and θ are the polishing surface and tilt angle.
    (a) Refractive index of the GRIN fiber. Inset: cross section of GRIN fiber captured by the refractive index profiler. (b) FWHM beam size at different position. Inset: beam profile at 2-mm position (left top); beam measurement setup (right bottom).
    (a) Working distance and Rayleigh length versus different GRIN fiber length. (b) Beam size and divergence angle versus different GRIN fiber length.
    (a) Angle-polished probe. (b) Distal optics with coil. (c) Distal image of assembled catheter with a guide wire and radiopaque marker. (d) Full view of the whole catheter. (e) Connection of the catheter and PIU. Inset: cap used to house the SC/APC connector. U: UV adhesive; C: double-wrapped torque coil; P: plastic sheath; M: radiopaque marker; G: 0.014-inch guide wire; T: catheter; L: Luer connector.
    Catheter FWHM beam size at different imaging depth.X: horizontal direction, Y: vertical direction. Inset: beam profile at 2-mm position (right bottom); beam size measurement setup (left top).
    (a) in vivo imaging arrangement. (b) X-ray image of porcine heart in this experiment. (c) Cross-section image without stent attachment. (d) Cross-section image with the stent. (e) Cutaway view of the 3D image of a segment of coronary artery with stent and guide wire. ECG: electrocardiogram; G: guidewire; H: healthy blood vessel wall; T: catheter; L: small blood vessel branch; S: stent.
