Abstract:
Angle multiplexed optical coherence tomography systems and methods can be used to evaluate ocular tissue and other anatomical structures or features of a patient. The angle multiplexed optical coherence tomography system includes a light source, an optical assembly for obtaining a plurality of sample beams corresponding to respective anatomical locations of the eye of the patient, where individual sample beams are associated with a respective non-zero angle relative to a reference beam, and a detection mechanism that detects individual unique interference patterns respectively provided by the plurality of sample beams, for simultaneous evaluation of the anatomical locations.

Claim (Index 11):
An optical coherence tomography system, comprising:\n a detector comprising an array of pixels; a light source configured to supply a sample light beam to an eye and to further supply a reference light beam; an optical element configured to direct the reference light beam to the array of pixels; and an optical splitter configured to divide light returning from the eye into a plurality of individual signal beams each having a corresponding different path length from an output of the optical splitter to the optical element and each corresponding to a respective different anatomical location of the eye, wherein each of the individual signal beams impinges on the optical element at a corresponding different angle with respect to the reference light beam, and wherein the optical element is configured to direct the plurality of individual signal beams simultaneously to the array of pixels.
