Abstract
The miniaturization of optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems could open up potential new markets, such as point-of-care application, home OCT to regularly monitor disease and treatment progress, and in low-resource settings. Photonic integrated circuits (PIC) are considered an attractive approach to miniaturize OCT. We present our recent achievements in in vivo retinal imaging with a PIC-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer integrated in a state-of-the-art ophthalmic OCT system. The system achieves 94 dB at 750 µW on the sample, running at 50 kHz. Preliminary results of a fully packaged 4-channel opto-electronic OCT engine further demonstrate the potential of PIC-based OCT.
