dc.description.abstract |
Light based techniques continue to gain momentum in different spheres of diagnostic and therapeutic applications as a result of their non-invasive, noncontact properties. One such technique is Optical Coherence tomography (OCT). Since it was first reported by Huang in 1991[1], OCT has made significant strides in different fields from dermatology and ophthalmology to polymer characterisation and bio-metrics[2-4]. In South Africa, the technique is still emerging although it is being used for eye examinations by ophthalmologists. The type of OCT system employed can be a simple, cost effective solution or a complex, highly specific and fast system depending on the application. As part of a larger project, the CSIR National Laser Centre has designed and built a high speed OCT system that can image a large surface area (25 by 25 mm) to a depth of 11 mm (sample dependant). Resultant 3-D images (512 x 512 x 2048 pixels) are acquired in less than 3 seconds. The performance of the system compares adequately with many commercially available systems which usually image smaller areas [5-6]. The heart of the system is a 200 kHz swept laser source and two axis galvonometer based scanner. Signal acquisition is made possible through a high speed analogue-to-digital converter capable of speeds greater than 1GS/s. This paper will give an overview of the system and elaborate on the design of the data acquisition system and the initial results that have been obtained. |
