Abstract

Low coherence imaging systems are developed for studies of the living eye. Such systems employ light from a pigtailed superluminescent diode (SLD) that is injected into a single mode directional coupler. Light from one of the output ports is fed into a second coupler while the light from the other port is inserted into an index matching gel. This arrangement forms a Michelson interferometer. The system is used to obtain and display en-face images of the retina of areas 4Ã?4 mm2 in less than 3 sec. Depth resolution is limited to 35 Î¼m and transversal resolution is better than 30 Î¼m. Overall measurement time can be reduced using multiple interferometers with different path imbalances to permit simultaneous display of images for different depths in the eye.
