Abstract
We report on a swept-source OCT system based on a photonic-electronic integrated circuit. It enables a parallelization of data acquisition resulting in an effective A-scan rate of 4x100 kHz at a central wavelength of 840 nm. The monolithic co-integration of photonic elements forming the multiplexed interferometers and the system electronics on one chip allows a very compact OCT engine in a photonic package. Integrated in an ophthalmic system, the maximum sensitivity was estimated to be 91 dB with an optical power of 4x520 µW at the model eye. An eye phantom was imaged at 400 kHz showing its layered structure.
