Spectral domain optical coherence tomography apparatus

Abstract

A spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) apparatus includes an optical source system adapted to generate and transmit an optical signal; an optical coupler operatively coupled to a reference optical path and a scanning optical path; and at least two spectrometers including high speed detectors, wherein the spectrometers provide outputs that are utilized for differential detection of a wavelength channel. A spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) apparatus includes an optical source system adapted to generate and transmit an optical signal; an optical coupler operatively coupled to a reference light path and a scanning light path; at least two spectrometers comprising high speed detectors, wherein the spectrometers are interleaved.
