VCSEL Swept Source
The 1060 nm VCSEL Swept Source Caliper has been developed for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) imaging used in the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases.
The Caliper product is based on OCTLIGHT Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) packaged with a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA). Caliper is designed for integration into OCT systems and contains driver electronics, temperature control and interface electronics among these an A-scan trigger.
Product Features
- Compact modular platform based on proven GaAs VCSEL and SOA technology
- Variable scan rate to achieve multi-modal imaging or fixed for fast scan rate and high through-put
- Shaping scan speed and optical envelope to optimize image quality.
Applications
- Swept Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT)
- Interferometry
- Laser ranging
