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 1):
A method for selectively producing a half-depth OCT image or a full-depth OCT image, based on a swept-source OCT interference signal, the method comprising:\n selecting from a first sampling rate and a second sampling rate, the second sampling rate being twice the first sampling rate; selecting from a first sweep rate and a second sweep rate the second sweep rate being half the first; operating a swept optical source at the selected sweep rate; 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; and processing the sampled OCT interference signal to obtain an OCT image, such that the 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.
