An approach to increase the speed of Optical Coherence Tomography using a Virtually Imaged Phased Array

Helge Sudkamp, H Y Lee, Gereon Hüttmann, A K Kellerbee

Abstract

A novel technique to increase the imaging speed of Optical Coherence Tomography is presented. Data from several lateral points are simultaneously acquired by integrating a virtually imaged phased array (VIPA) into the sample arm. However, the increase in points measured simultaneously comes at the cost of imaging depth. At an equivalent A-scan rate of 900kHz, we resolved nine lateral points and got an almost equal OCT signal across the whole imaging depth of 0.66 mm.
