Abstract :
SS-OCT is a promising imaging modality for optical diagnostics. We introduced several novel methods for swept source that overcome design trade-offs and realize a highly k-linear wavelength sweep, a large coherence length as well as efficient tuning mechanism for wide range sweep while achieving high swept rate.
