We call OCT with speeds of more than 1.000.000 axial scans per second MHz-OCT. These unprecedented speeds require not only an extremely fast swept laser, such as our FDML products, but also rely on perfect synchronization, powerful data processing and other system technologies. Read more...
Fourier-domain mode-locking (FDML) is a novel laser operation scheme. In FDML, the cavity round-trip time is synchronized to the wavelength-tunable filter driving signal. In this way, FDML overcomes the typical speed limitations of other wavelength-swept laser concepts. Read more...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noncontact, three-dimensional imaging modality. Based on broadband light sources, interferometric detection, and confocal gating, OCT provides cross-sectional images with a resolution of a few microns. Read more...
