Imaging Scanner (Accessory)
Thorlabs SD-OCT systems use a common-path OCT setup in which the interferometer is located within the
imaging scanner. This integration of the interferometer eliminates the problems associated with chromatic or
polarization mode dispersion that are introduced by differences between individual fibers in the sample and
reference arms.
Various lens kits are available for these scanners.
For further details, please refer to the specific manual of the scanner.
