OCT images, and a high sweep-speed is needed to obtain real-time 2D and 3D OCT imaging speeds. Thorlabs now offers a variety of frequency swept laser sources based on a tunable external cavity semiconductor laser, designed and optimized for SS-OCT and OFDR applications. - Page 10 Thorlabs’ swept source laser is ideal for this application. The laser features a built-in Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) with balanced detector output, which can be used as a frequency clock because the zero crossings of the interference fringe signal are equally spaced in optical frequency (k-space).
