“…The so-called lensless endoscopes which have recently been demonstrated [5,6,7,8,9] might have the potential to overcome this challenge, since they are able to utilize standard multi-mode fiber (MMF) as probes which consequently have diameters down to 100 µm, and which might in principle be used as insertable needle-like imaging probes. However, achieving two-photon contrast in a lensless endoscope is a challenge due to dispersion in optical fibers, and only sparse reports of a two-photon lensless endoscopes exist [10,11]. Here, we draw upon concepts from light control in complex media [12,13,14,15,16] in order to propose an amalgam of the rigid endoscope and the lensless endoscope compatible with two-photon imaging which is, in effect, an ultra-thin rigid endoscope consisting of a short piece of graded-index MMF.…”
