摘要
We present pulsed illumination spectral-domain optical coherence tomography ( SD-OCT) for in vivo human retinal imaging. We analyze the signal-to-noise ( SNR) for continuous wave ( CW) and pulsed illumination SD-OCT. The lateral beam scan motion is responsible for a SNR drop due to lateral scanning induced interference fringe washout. Pulsed illumination can reduce the SNR drop by shorter sample illumination time during the integration time of a camera. First, we demonstrate the SNR benefit of pulsed illumination over CW as function of lateral scan speed for a paper sample. Finally, we show better SNR in retinal images of a normal subject with pulsed illumination SD-OCT over CW at high lateral scanning speed. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
