title = "Low coherence interferometry of the cochlear partition",
abstract = "An optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system operating at 1310nm wavelength was used to image the organ of Corti. The spatial resolution of the system was ~13?m. The reflectivity of light intensity for the organ of Corti was ~10-5 (a mirror defines a reflectivity of 1.00). Operating the system as a low-coherence interferometer allowed us to measure localized vibration of the basilar membrane in the organ of Corti, driven mechanically with a piezo stack coupled to the sample chamber. We were able to detect vibrational signal at 16kHz from three different locations in the organ of Corti. The chamber was vibrated by ±~1nm. The normalized detected signal (vibrational signal amplitude divided by the intensity of reflected light) from all three locations were approximately constant for equal amount of vibration.",
