Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging modality that can generate micrometer resolution, two-dimensional cross-sectional images and three-dimensional volumetric data on the internal structure of optically scattering and reflective tissues and materials. The development of Fourier-domain detection enabled a breakthrough in OCT imaging sensitivity and speed, and the newest generation of OCT is based on wavelength swept light sources (Swept source / Fourier-domain OCT; SS-OCT). We describe high imaging speed and long depth range SS-OCT with an emphasis on SS-OCT technology using MEMS-tunable vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers operating at 1,050 nm and 1,310 nm. We also review representative applications using adjustable high speed and long range SS-OCT including ophthalmic imaging (retinal, anterior segment and full eye length imaging), optical coherence microscopy, endoscopy, ocular biometry, metrology, profilometry and non-destructive material evaluation.
