Components

The OCTP is intended as an accessory for use with Thorlabs OCT base units. It is assembled from standard
Thorlabs opto-mechanics that provide mechanical compatibility with our 30 mm cage systems, SM1 lens tubes,
and Ø1" optics, providing a high degree of experimental flexibility.
The major components of the scanner, illustrated in Figure 1 below, include: a fiber collimation module, optical
beamsplitter module, reference arm module, and an OCT scan cube module.
These are described in the following sections.

Always turn off the light source before changing or adjusting OCTP configuration or accessories
such as the objective, scan lens kit, reference arm adapter, or sample z-spacer. For Thorlabs
OCT base units, turn off the OCT base unit main power to turn off the light source.
