Swept laser source non-linearity and k-clock instability compensation Swept source OCT lasers are non-linear. This non-linearity must be compensated to improve both resolution and sensitivity. Non-linearity correction can be done in two ways: Direct ADC clocking: the ADC capturing the OCT interference is clocked directly with a clock signal that contains the information of the laser [...]

Real-time data processing after analog-to-digital conversion at multi-gigasamples per second on digitized data can’t be performed on a host computer as the backplane is not fast enough to extract the samples at full speed. In addition, a modern multi-processor workstation can’t perform real-time operations at such rates. Hence, an FPGA with enough available resources for customization [...]
