Swept-source parallel OCT

Authors:

Abstract
We present an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system that can create a full 2D cross-sectional image of a sample within one single spectral sweep of a swept source at a frame rate of 160 fps. The unique combination of line field and swept source technologies in a Fourier domain OCT configuration achieves ultrahigh imaging speeds with a greatly simplified wavelength swept source. The system was initially tested on reflective and diffuse targets.
