Abstract:
Techniques and apparatus for selectively producing half-depth and full-depth OCT images, based on a swept-source OCT interference signal. An example method comprises selecting from a first sampling rate and a second sampling rate, the second sampling rate being twice the first sampling rate, and sampling the swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) interference signal at the selected sampling rate, using a k-clock signal having a frequency range corresponding to the first sampling rate, to produce a sampled OCT interference signal. The method further comprises processing the sampled OCT interference signal to obtain an OCT image, such that the resulting OCT image is a half-depth image in the event the first sampling rate is selected and a full-depth image in the event the second sampling rate is selected.

Claim (Index 10):
An OCT system comprising the OCT data acquisition and processing circuit of  claim 6 , and further comprising:\n the swept optical source; an interferometer coupled to an output of the swept optical source, the interferometer comprising a detector circuit configured to generate the swept-source OCT interference signal from an optical interference signal produced by the interferometer.
