1 Overview
The Thorlabs INT-COM-1300 Common Path OCT Interferometer is a subassembly to
be used in swept source Fourier domain OCT systems and other applications. It
contains a fusion coupler network to operate with an external Common Path
interferometer probe. The generated interference fringes are detected by an
integrated balanced detector. The used fusion couplers are optimized for flat
wavelength response and very low PDCR (polarization dependant coupling ratio
change) to make the signal nearly independent of input polarization changes. An
additional aiming laser input simplifies the optical alignment of the probe.
The "Getting Started Quickly" section below gives an overview of how to set up the
INT-COM-1300 Common Path OCT Interferometer. Subsequent sections contain
detailed information about principle of operation, operating suggestions and technical
specifications.
